A transmission gear shifter arrangement includes a shift lever assembly and a position sensor assembly each associated with a shifter housing. The shift lever assembly is operably coupled to a vehicle transmission, and is selectively movable to gear select positions corresponding to respective transmission gears. The position sensor assembly includes a light source and light sensor, where the sensor is configured to selectively receive light emitted from the light source. When the shift lever assembly is in a predetermined one of the gear select positions, the shift lever assembly enables light emitted from the light source to reach the sensor thereby indicating that the shift lever assembly is in the predetermined one of the gear select positions, and when the shift lever assembly is not in the predetermined one of the gear select positions, the shift lever assembly prevents light emitted from the light source from reaching the sensor.
