Patent ID: 8733200

Claim:
A shifting device for a motor vehicle manual transmission that comprises at least two axis-parallel transmission shafts that can be selectively brought into drive connection with each other via a plurality of gear sets of different transmission ratios, the shifting device comprising: a gear shift shaft ( 1 ) being disposed in a transmission housing in an axially displaceable manner for transmitting selection processes and being rotatable about a longitudinal axis for transmitting shifting processes, a selector interlock ( 5 ) being operationally form locking for preventing axial displacement of the gear shift shaft ( 1 ) into an outer shift gate ( 44 ), the selector interlock ( 5 ) comprising a locking ring ( 6 ) which is supported coaxial with the gear shift shaft ( 1 ) in an axially displaceable and rotatable manner, an axially inner stop surface ( 8 ) having at least one locking tooth ( 9 ) projecting axially by an outer shift gate distance (X), and an axially outside lying locking surface ( 10 ), which is held by a linear spring in an axial rest position in which an axial displacement ( 16 ) of the gear shift shaft ( 1 ), in a direction of the outer shift gate ( 44 ), leads to a stop surface ( 12 ) of the gear shift shaft ( 1 ) abutting the locking tooth ( 9 ) either prior to or upon reaching a second inner lying shift gate ( 42 ), and from the axial rest position, a further axial displacement ( 16 ) of the gear shift shaft ( 1 ) upon reaching a next inner shift gate ( 43 ) leads to the locking surface ( 10 ) of the locking ring ( 6 ) abutting a locking surface ( 11 ) fixed to the housing, and which is held by a torsion spring in a peripheral rest position in which a rotation ( 17 ) of the gear shift shaft ( 1 ) leads to axial engagement of the locking tooth ( 9 ) of the locking ring ( 6 ) into an axial recess ( 13 , 14 ) in the stop surface ( 12 ) of the gear shift shaft ( 1 ) upon reaching a shift position of at least one of two gears (G 5 , G 6 ) of the next inner shift gate ( 43 ).
