ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft device for a vehicle includes a control configuration having a first terminal for outputting a lock signal and a second terminal for outputting an unlock signal. The device also includes a push-pull gear motor having a first terminal connected to the first terminal of the control configuration and a second terminal connected to the second terminal of the control configuration. The motor has an actuator movable between an extended and a retracted position upon receiving the signals. The anti-theft device further includes a pivotal locking device connected to the actuator. The pivotal locking device is in a locked position when the actuator is in one of the positions and is in an unlocked position when the actuator is in the other of the positions. The locking device engages a first end of an operative connection when the locking device is in the locked position. The operative connection has a second end for connection either to a gear lever of an automatic transmission or a clutch lever of a transmission and a clutch pedal arm. The control configuration causes the locking device to engage the operative connection by outputting the lock signal to disable gear selection of the vehicle and the control configuration outputs the unlock signal to enable gear selection of the vehicle.
