Selecting device for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle

摘要

A selecting device for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle includes a selector lever which can be swivelled back and forth between two different shifting channels. One shifting channel is for the step-by-step manual shifting of the automatic transmission. The other shifting channel facilitates the automatic operation of the transmission. The selector lever is pivotally mounted for movement in the two shifting channels about a first shaft axis and for movement between the shifting channels about a second shaft axis. The second shaft axis extends along a pivot shaft which is fixedly disposed in a vehicle frame. The first and second shaft axes are congruent when the selector lever is in the shifting channel for automatic operation. Shifting and interlocking devices are integrated in the selecting device.
