Abstract
Calibration of an X-Y shifter is accomplished under the control of a microcomputer which is programmed to perform a calibration routine each time the vehicle is shutdown. The routine causes the shifter's shift finger to be moved into touching contact with the various inner wall surfaces of the shift blocks of the respective transmission shift rails from which a calibrated shift rail and neutral position are calculated.
