Transmission range selector
E112313
The transmission range selector is located on the
center console and is mechanically connected to
the transmission by a cable for operation of the
gear selector shaft and the TR (transmission range)
sensor.
As well as the positions P/R/N/D, the transmission
range selector provides a position for the sport and
select-shift mode (S). The manual gear position
can be selected at any time while driving. The gear
selected is locked until the driver selects another
gear.
The engine can only be started in positions P or
N.
The selector cable adjustment mechanism is at the
transmission end of the selector cable.
NOTE:Details of the exact procedure and
specifications can be found in the current service
literature.

NOTE: From the start of series production, the
transfer box will be subject to a "Black Box Phase"
and will therefore not be repaired.
To realise the all-wheel drive, a transfer box has
been flange-mounted to the manual transaxle. The
transfer box is designed as an angular gear to
transfer the torque from the transaxle to the rear
axle. The hollow shaft of the transfer box is inserted
in a tooth on the gear case. From the hollow shaft,
torque is transferred to the driveshaft through the
output shaft/output flange via crown gear and
differential pinion gear.
