Patent ID: 8126623

Claim:
A shifting device for a gear selection in a manual transmission, comprising: a shift/selector lever moveable in a shifting degree of freedom and a selection degree of freedom; a measuring sensor adapted to sense a current position of the shift/selector lever in two degrees of freedom; a two-dimensionally controllable actuator device; and a control circuit adapted to control the two-dimensionally controllable actuator device in a position associated with a sensed position of the shift/selector lever, which depicts a movement region of the shift/selector lever on a region of possible positions of the two-dimensionally controllable actuator device, wherein the movement region of the shift/selector lever comprises a two dimensional prohibited part region in which the shift/selector lever can be simultaneously moved in both degrees of freedom, and wherein the control circuit depicts a prohibited part region on positions on an edge of the region of the possible positions of the two-dimensionally controllable actuator device.
