Shift Detent, Function

When the selector lever (80) moves into one of the selector lever positions "R", "N", or "D" the roller (84) engages in a recess via the cam (69d). The selector lever (80) is locked to prevent longitudinal movement. It can only be shifted out of the respective selector lever position by overcoming the force of the leaf spring (85). See Fig 1.
