Abstract
A system for preventing shifting between a plurality of gear ratios in a mechanical gearset. An operating sensor detecting rotation of a moving component in the mechanical gearset, a shift solenoid controlling shifting among the plurality of gear ratios, and a microcontroller communicatively coupled to the shift solenoid and the operating sensor that prevents activation of the shift solenoid when rotation is detected by the rotation sensor.
