A slider of a moving portion slides on a sliding surface of a guide portion according to a selected range of an automatic transmission. A plurality of through holes are provided on the sliding surface. A detecting portion detects the range of the transmission based on the position of the moving portion. Particles on the sliding surface are scraped by a slider of the moving portion. The scraped particles drop into the holes to prevent a slider from being stuck.

What is claimed is: 1. A range detector comprising: a moving portion which reciprocates according to a range of an automatic transmission, the range of the automatic transmission being comprised of a parking range, a reverse range, a neutral range, and a driving range, the moving portion being positioned at one of a P-position, a R-position, a N-position, and a D-position, which respectively correspond to the parking range, the reverse range, the neutral range, and the driving range, when the respective range of the automatic transmission is selected; a guide portion having a bottom sliding surface on which the moving portion reciprocates; and a detecting portion supported by the guide portion to detect the range of the automatic transmission based on a position of the moving portion, wherein a plurality of holes are formed in the bottom sliding surface, the moving portion reciprocates over the plurality of holes, the plurality of holes are formed in the bottom sliding surface of the guide portion so that said holes are respectively positioned adjacent to and aligned with front and rear ends of the moving portion when the moving portion is positioned at each of the P-position, R-position, N-position and D-position, allowing particulate matter to be dropped into the holes by at least one of gravity and selective alignment of the moving portion with the holes when the moving portion is positioned at any one of said P-position, R-position, N-position and D-position, the moving portion, the guide portion, and the detecting portion are accommodated in the automatic transmission, and the sliding surface is arranged in such a manner as to face upwardly. 2. The range detector according to claim 1, wherein a groove is formed on the sliding surface and extends in a moving direction of the moving portion, the plurality of holes being formed in said groove. 3. The range detector according to claim 1, wherein in a direction perpendicular to an axis line of the moving portion, a width of the moving portion is greater than inner width of the holes. 4. The range detector according to claim 1, wherein the holes are through holes penetrating the guide portion. 5. The range detector according to claim 4, wherein an opposite end of the holes relative to the sliding surface is opened in the automatic transmission in which a filter filtering an operation fluid is disposed. 6. The range detector according to claim 4, wherein an opposite end of at least one of the holes relative to the sliding surface is opened in the automatic transmission in which a magnet is disposed. 7. The range detector according to claim 1, wherein an opposite end of at least one of the holes relative to the sliding surface is closed. 8. The range detector according to claim 1, wherein the detecting portion includes a non-contact type senor which detects a position of the moving portion without contacting with the moving portion and a specify circuit which specifies a range of the transmission according to a detected result of the non-contact type sensor. 9. The range detector according to claim 1, wherein the detecting portion includes a contact type sensor which detects a position of the moving portion by contacting with the moving portion and a specify circuit which specifies a range of the transmission according to a detected result of the contact type sensor.
