<p>A shifting device (10, fig 1), for shifting gears of a manual gearbox of a vehicle, comprises a gear lever 14 movable between at least one neutral position and at least one engaging position. The shifting device (10) comprises a locking device 16 having at least one locking element 18 for blocking the movement of the gear lever 14 from the neutral position into the engaging position. Locking element 18 may have a receptacle 26, attached to the gear lever 14, which engages with a locking pin 22 that is moveable by an actuator 24, e.g. an electric, electromagnetic, pneumatic actuator. The shifting device (10) comprises a shift gate along which the gear lever is movable to engage respective gears and a selection gate extending perpendicular to the shift gate. If a driver leaves a hand on the drive lever 14 while in neutral, the locking device 16 prevents movement of the gear lever 14 and thereby accidental engagement of synchronization devices in the gearbox. Reference is also made to a method for operating a shifting device (10).</p> |
