<p>The present invention refers to a gear shift assembly comprising a gear shift lever (1) and a detent mechanism, wherein the gear shift lever (1) is manually movable between predetermined positions, wherein the detent mechanism comprises a detent surface (17) and a detent element (15) biased towards the detent surface (17), wherein the detent surface (17) defines a path (19) along which a contact surface (21) of the detent element (15) is able to slide in contact with the detent surface (17) when the gear shift lever (1) is moved between the predetermined positions, and wherein the detent surface (17) comprises concave-shaped recesses (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) each defining a stable position of the detent element (15) along the path (19) when the gear shift lever (1) is in a corresponding predetermined position, wherein the contact surface (21) of the detent element (15) is convex-shaped having a maximal radius of curvature (R2) in the sliding direction which is substantially smaller than the minimal radius of curvature (R1) of the path (19) within the recesses (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) of the detent surface (17).</p> |
