ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for electrically activating range shift apparatus in transmissions of trucks or the like wherein the activation which is customarily by an air line from the shift knob is caused to occur in the direct proximity of the transmission, rather than is usually the case where the air lines or the like come into the truck cab or the like and are generally associated with the shift bar and activated by means directly at the shift knob. In the present case an electrical switch is provided at the knob and electrical wires are carried through the shift bar directly to the proximity of the transmission at which point solenoid valves are arranged so as to accomplish the pressure through the various air lines as required right at the transmission location.
