ABSTRACT:
A locking assembly for a selector lever of an automatic gearbox. A the locking device acts upon a transmission member situated between the selector lever and the automatic gearbox. The selector lever is connected in a first gear-shift gate to the transmission member, and the locking device then acts upon the transmission member and secures it in its current position when the selector lever has left the first gear-shift gate and is no longer connected to the transmission member. In addition, a longitudinal locking assembly, which holds the selector lever in pre-set positions during its longitudinal movement in the first gear shift gate, is provided for the selector lever. In order to provide a locking device which is inexpensive in design and simple to assemble, it is proposed that the locking device and the longitudinal locking assembly interact with each other when the selector lever is in the first gear-shift gate, In this way, the locking device is now unlocked by way of the longitudinal locking assembly, so that the transmission device for the automatic gearbox is released only when the selector lever is moved.
