Abstract
An arrangement for controlling gear positions in a car includes a console having a wall, and one or more sensors arranged in connection to the console wall. The arrangement additionally includes a gear lever and a code device constructed to interact with the one or more sensors. The code device is connected to the gear lever so that the code device moves upon motion of the gear lever. The code device is pivotably secured adjacent to the gear lever, and the arrangement can bias the code device in a direction toward the console wall. The arrangement can further include an arm by which the code device is pivotably secured in the gear lever.
