Claim:
1. A shift device for a transmission of a motor vehicle, comprising: a shift shaft operatively connected to the transmission, a shift lever for actuating the shift shaft, wherein the shift lever is connected to the shift shaft by a first spline connection having rotational play, thereby enabling limited rotational free travel of the shift shaft when the shift lever is in a fixed position, a shift sensor connected to the shift shaft in a rotationally fixed arrangement by way of a second spline connection, wherein the second spline connection comprises an inner spline formed on the shift sensor and having a circular cylindrical contour and a plurality of radially outwardly directed and mutually circumferentially spaced notches, and an outer spline formed on the shift shaft and having a circular cylindrical contour and a plurality of radially outwardly directed and mutually circumferentially spaced teeth, and a double tooth formed on the outer spline and a double notch formed on the inner spline, with the double tooth and the double notch defining a precise angular alignment between the shift sensor and the shift shaft.
