ABSTRACT:
A console mounted transmission selector assembly has a latching mechanism which is operable to prevent the operator key from being placed in the LOCK position prior to the transmission being shifted to the desired PARK position. The latching mechanism also prevents the transmission selector lever from being shifted out of the PARK position prior to the operator key being manipulated out of the LOCK position. The selector assembly housing has the operator key disposed therein. The key mechanism and the latching mechanism are interconnected by a linkage mechanism which is also disposed within the selector assembly housing.
