ABSTRACT:
A gear select lever locking arrangement comprises a gear select lever with a position pin and a manual push button for moving the position pin into a predetermined notch of a position plate from a groove of the position plate after placing the gear select lever in a P (parking) position. When the position pin moves into the predetermined notch, a catch mechanism shifts from an open position to a catch position. In the catch position, a latch assumes a position to prevent the position pin from moving out of the predetermined notch. The catch mechanism is operatively connected to a blocking mechanism such that when the catch mechanism assumes the open position, the blocking mechanism assumes a blocking position wherein a key operated cylinder is blocked from rotating a predetermined position wherein a key is removable from the key operated cylinder. When the catch mechanism assumes the catch position, the blocking mechanism assumes an unblocking position wherein the key operated cylinder is allowed to rotate to the predetermined position. The catch mechanism includes a blocking mechanism control lever and a keeper.
