ABSTRACT:
A gear range indicator for use with automatic transmission which is remote from the shift mechanism, yet requires little or no adjustment to be made to the mechanical linkage to compensate for variations in the position of the display relative to the shift mechanism. The gear range indicator uses light conducting columns to illuminate symbols corresponding to the gear range selected. An opague indicator control strip with an aperture blocks light from reaching the columns except for that light passing through the aperture. The aperture is aligned with the column corresponding to the gear range selected.
