Abstract
The disclosure relates to a control mechanism for automatic transmission in a motor vehicle to prevent operation of a selector lever under certain conditions. For example, the selector lever can be locked into the park position and shifted out of this position only after the brake pedal has been operated. The locking mechanism includes a manually controllable catch mechanism which cooperates with an electro-magnetically operated mechanism to achieve the desired selector lever control.
