Claim:
Support arrangement ( 1 , 29 ) for pivotable mounting of a shift lever ( 2 , 35 ) by a casing ( 10 , 31 ) in a housing ( 3 ); wherein the support arrangement ( 1 , 29 ) supports the shift lever ( 2 , 35 ) in the casing ( 10 , 31 ) pivotably with respect to the casing ( 10 , 31 ) around a pivot axis ( 8 a , 36 ) and also supports the shift lever ( 2 , 35 ) with the casing ( 10 , 31 ) pivotably with respect to the housing ( 3 ) around a tilt axis ( 9 a , 34 ) aligned transversely of the pivot axis ( 8 a , 36 ); and wherein the shift lever ( 2 , 35 ) has at a free end a shift finger ( 2 a ), pivotable around the tilt axis ( 9 a , 34 ) and also the pivot axis ( 8 a , 36 ), wherein the tilt axis ( 9 a , 34 ) and the pivot axis ( 8 a , 36 ) are mutually spaced apart wherein the support arrangement ( 1 , 29 ) has on the casing ( 10 , 31 ) at least one slotted hole ( 11 ); the slotted hole ( 11 ) extends in a pivoting direction of the shift lever ( 2 , 25 ) pivotable around the pivot axis ( 8 a , 36 ); and wherein a stop ( 11 a ) protruding from the shift lever ( 2 , 35 ) engages in the slotted hole ( 11 ); wherein the stop ( 11 a ) is spaced apart from the pivot axis ( 9 a , 36 ); and wherein the stop ( 11 a ) in the slotted hole ( 11 ) limits a pivoting angle of the shift lever ( 2 , 35 ) pivoting around the pivot axis ( 8 a , 36 ); and wherein at least one first selector shaft ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ) and a second selector shaft ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ) are allocated to the shift finger ( 2 a , 35 ), the shift finger ( 2 a ) pivoted around the tilt axis ( 9 a , 34 ) positively engages, movable selectively, in one of the selector shafts ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ) and wherein the selector shaft ( 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ) in which the shift finger ( 2 a ) engages is longitudinally displaceable in at last one direction by the shift finger ( 2 a ) pivoting around the pivot axis ( 8 a , 36 ).
