Abstract:
1. A shifting device for an automated or automatic transmission of a motor vehicle having a manual selector lever that can be moved into the following selector lever positions: a stable selector lever position P for engaging a parking brake, a stable selector lever position R for engaging a reverse gear, a stable selector lever position N for interrupting a transmission of torque in the transmission, whereby the selector lever positions P, R and N are arranged in alignment in a shift gate along a common linear axis, a selector lever position D that corresponds to an automatic shifting program including a forward gear, a selector lever position M that corresponds to manually triggerable shifting including upshifting and downshifting, and a stable selector lever position E that is positioned in alignment with the selector lever positions P, R and N in the shift gate along the common linear axis, wherein stable selector lever position E lies in the shift gate between two tipping positions that are unstable and are arranged in alignment along the common linear axis with the selector lever positions P, R and N, for gradual or multiple shifting including upshifting and downshifting, and wherein said stable selector lever position E lies between the two unstable selector lever positions D and M in a transverse gate, said transverse gate running transversely to the shift gate.
