Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A shifter apparatus includes a driver interface module (21) movable to request a transmission shift, and a display (23) with indicia for showing the presently selected gear position and for showing a newly selected gear position. A controller (26) is operably coupled to the driver interface module, the display, and sensors (25) for sensing predetermined vehicle conditions. The controller shifts the transmission and changes the display if the vehicle sensors indicate that the predetermined vehicle conditions are met, but doesn't shift the transmission if the predetermined vehicle conditions are not met and further it resets the display to the first indicia. By this arrangement, the shifter senses and shifts based on a relative position of the driver interface module and not an absolute position. The shifter is storable and covers can be used to hide it when in the storage position.
