ABSTRACT:
A selector lever guide assembly for a gearbox is provided, in which the selector lever is movable in two gear-shift gates which are parallel to each other and which are connected by a transverse gate. In order to guide the selector lever in such a way as to ensure a reliable positioning of the selector lever on leaving the first gear-shift gate and on re-entering the first gear-shift gate, a guide for the selector lever with the aid of a structural member is arranged immediately adjacent to the selector lever. This structural member has a face which extends in a plane parallel to the plane of movement of the selector lever. A guide member provided directly on the selector lever engages over the structural member and rests against the side of the face remote from the selector lever, so that the selector lever is guided in the plane of movement thereof. For the transverse movement of the selector lever, an aperture is provided at that point on the face at which the guide member is present when the selector lever is at the level of the transverse gate.
