Abstract
A transmission control for a motor vehicle includes a valve and a spool mounted in the valve biased to extend therefrom. A spool actuator member controls extension of the spool from the valve. A spool control member is connected to move in response to movement of an operator control. An adjustable engaging member on the spool control member moves a predetermined distance free of forced engagement with the spool actuator. Subsequently the engaging member engages and moves the spool actuating member.
