The park lock comprises a selector shaft, a park lock lever, a shift rod, a park lock pawl and a park lock gear.
The park lock is electronically and hydraulically actuated via a control solenoid and a spool valve, which are located in the valve block. A slot in the spool valve engages with a connection with a lever on the selector shaft. A second connection on the lever engages with the PARK (P) sensor which is part of the sensor unit. Refer to the 'Valve Block' and 'Sensor Unit' portions in this article for details of the individual components.
When the control solenoid is actuated, the park lock spool moves, rotating the park lock lever. The rotary motion of the lever is converted to linear movement of the shift rod which moves in the required direction to apply or release the park lock pawl from the park lock gear.
