Abstract
The output shaft of a power transmission is selectively connectible with a stationary housing by a plurality of parking pawls. The pawls are pivotally mounted in a wall member and spring-loaded to an extended position whereby recesses in an output driven disc are engaged. An operator controlled actuator member is selectively movable into abutment with the pawls to enforce retraction thereof into pawl recesses such that the recesses in the disk are not engaged.
