ABSTRACT:
A shifting device for transmitting shift commands to an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle includes a housing (1) and/or a frame and a gearshift lever (2), which is designed such that it is pivotable around a selector axis and a shift axis. The selector axis and the shift axis are preferably arranged at right angles in relation to one another, and the gearshift lever (2) can be shifted at least into a first shift gate and a second shift gate. The first shift gate preferably shifts shifting programs (P, N, R and D) of an automatic transmission and the second shift gate preferably implements manual tapping commands. A shifting carriage (3) is provided, which is mounted linearly movably in a plane and is designed such that the movement of the gearshift lever (2) in the first shift gate brings about a linear displacement of the shifting carriage due to a force coupling, and uncoupling of the movement of the gearshift lever (2) from the shifting carriage (3) is brought about by a movement of the gearshift lever (2) in the second shift gate.
