A haptic device for an actuator of a gear selector for a vehicle, said haptic device comprising: a first element; a second element coupled to said first element and defining a space between said first and second elements with said first and second elements movable relative to one another from a rest position when the actuator is in a disengaged position, to a triggered position when the actuator is moved to an engaged position; a biasing member coupled to at least one of said elements (30,32) and continuously biasing said first and second elements toward one another; a slide having a contoured surface and disposed within said space with said slide movable from a first position with said elements in said rest position, to a second position moving said elements to said triggered position; and at least one cam follower engaging said slide and following said contoured surface with said cam follower selectively engaging one of said first and second elements to cause said elements to move relative to each other as said slide moves toward said second position thereby causing a tactile feedback to the actuator, characterized in that at least one guide follower is provided engaging said slide and guiding said slide between said first and second positions, and in that the cam follower and the guide follower are provided with a plurality of teeth which mesh with a plurality of cogs which extend from the slide and/or the first and second elements (30, 32) and are disposed adjacent the cam and guide followers, and/or with toothpaths defined on each side of the slide as well as on each of the first and second elements (30, 32) to keep the cam and guide follower (62, 68) aligned with the slide and the first and second elements (30, 32) when the slide is moving between the first and second position. a first element; a second element coupled to said first element and defining a space between said first and second elements with said first and second elements movable relative to one another from a rest position when the actuator is in a disengaged position, to a triggered position when the actuator is moved to an engaged position; a biasing member coupled to at least one of said elements (30,32) and continuously biasing said first and second elements toward one another; a slide having a contoured surface and disposed within said space with said slide movable from a first position with said elements in said rest position, to a second position moving said elements to said triggered position; and at least one cam follower engaging said slide and following said contoured surface with said cam follower selectively engaging one of said first and second elements to cause said elements to move relative to each other as said slide moves toward said second position thereby causing a tactile feedback to the actuator, characterized in that at least one guide follower is provided engaging said slide and guiding said slide between said first and second positions, and in that the cam follower and the guide follower are provided with a plurality of teeth which mesh with a plurality of cogs which extend from the slide and/or the first and second elements (30, 32) and are disposed adjacent the cam and guide followers, and/or with toothpaths defined on each side of the slide as well as on each of the first and second elements (30, 32) with a plurality of cogs which extend from the slide and/or the first and second elements (30, 32) and are disposed adjacent the cam and guide followers, and/or with toothpaths defined on each side of the slide as well as on each of the first and second elements (30, 32) to keep the cam and guide follower (62, 68) aligned with the slide and the first and second elements (30, 32) when the slide is moving between the first and second position.
