Patent ID: 8826761

Claim:
A shift element comprising a common shift actuator and two shifting sleeve halves, the shift actuator and the two shifting sleeve halves being axially movable with respect to each other, the shift element being shiftable between at least three shift positions for shifting two transmission gears; first and second channels being formed by the shift actuator, the first and the second channels being axially fixed in relation to each other, the first channel receives a first shifting sleeve half and the second channel receives a second shifting sleeve half; radially outer exterior teeth of a first transmission gear being engaged, in a first axial end-position of the shift element, by radially inner claw teeth of the first shifting sleeve half, and the first axial end position is a first shift position of the shift actuator; radially outer exterior teeth of a second transmission gear being engaged, in a second axial end position of the shift element, by radially inner claw teeth of the second shifting sleeve half, and the second axial end position is a second shift position of the shift actuator; both of the radially outer exterior teeth of the first and the second transmission gears being engaged, in a central position of the shift element, respectively, by the radially inner claw teeth of the first and the second shifting sleeve halves, and in the central position of the shift element, the radially inner claw teeth of the first and the second shifting sleeve halves engage a synchronizer element, and the central position of the shift element corresponds to a third shift position of the shift actuator; in each of the first and the second axial end positions of the shift actuator, the shift actuator directly contacts only one of the first and the second shifting sleeve halves.
