Patent ID: 7441476

Claim:
A shifting device for a change-speed transmission having a single shifting gate rotationally fixed to a shifting shaft, said shifting gate having at least one recess, the at least one recess defined by a pair of adjacent, continuous, longitudinal projections, wherein the projections of the shifting gate are arranged in a single row, wherein a single recess of the shifting gate is provided for each pair of speeds in the change-speed transmission, and having a first guide pin which is arranged in such a manner that it engages in the recess of the shifting gate in order to prevent a simultaneous engagement of two speeds of the change-speed transmission, and a second guide pin is arranged at a distance from the first guide pin, wherein the shifting gate is moveable between the first and second guide pins in order to change between different speeds of the change-speed transmission, wherein the shifting gate is formed such that, when a speed of the change-speed transmission is in an engaged state, one of the guide pins is located within a region of the recess of the shifting gate and in the neutral position of the change-speed transmission, the two guide pins are located outside the shifting gate, wherein the guide pins are connected in a positionally fixed manner to a housing of the change-speed transmission, and the shifting gate is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a shifting shaft of the change-speed transmission, wherein the guide pins are removably attached to the housing from the outside of the housing, for which purpose the housing has relieved bores with a respective stop surface.
