Abstract: A sensor system for detecting gear modes of an automobile transmission is disposed about a detent lever (11) internally within the transmission case. The system includes an encoder (4) capable of generating a magnetic field disposed on or about a detent lever, and at least one sensor (1, 2, 3), such as a Hall-effect sensor, disposed opposite the encoder (4). The encoder (4) is a magnetic strip having at least one track encoded thereon, wherein the sensor is juxtaposed with the encoded such that it produces a digital signal representative of the position of the encoder means and the corresponding gear mode.

Abstract: A metal sheet is cut to provide an elongated blank having five regions defined along the length of the elongated blank, the defined regions being a central region, two end regions, and an intermediate region between the central region and each of the two end regions. The elongated blank is bent such that the two end regions overlap and provide a mounting for a shaft and such that a pivot member to be mounted on the central region of the elongated blank will be in alignment, axially, with respect to the shaft. Bores may be formed in the intermediate regions for mounting of a cross-piece to pivotably connect the yoke to a coupling member.

Abstract: A needle bearing cup includes an inner bearing cup having an inner surface which forms a rolling element raceway and an outer bearing cup disposed about the periphery of the inner bearing cup having a length greater than a length of the inner bearing cup to form a lip. The lip of the outer bearing cup is then formed to retain rolling elements within the inner bearing cup. Preferably, the rolling elements are needle rollers and the inner bearing cup is secured to an outer bearing cup by mechanical lock in the form of a protruding portion extending from the outer bearing cup. The bearing cup may be double drawn with first and second sheet metal blanks forming the inner and outer bearing cups. The lip of the outer bearing cup may be formed through ductile expansion using a punch having an inner diameter portion joined to an outer diameter portion with a step that contacts a top portion of the continuous sidewall portion of the inner bearing cup such that the lip extends about the outer diameter portion of the punch.
