ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a gear control of a motor vehicle. The gear control incorporates a gear lever (1) which can be placed in at least two mutually spaced gear positions (V1-5), each of which initiates a particular gear change in a gearbox (12). The gear control incorporates at least one power device (4) connected to the gear lever (1), a position reader (7-10) designed to detect the position of the gear lever (1), and a control unit (11) designed to control the power device (4) on the basis of the position of the gear lever (1) so that movements of the gear lever (1) are only allowed along a particular path (3) which is defined by a control unit (11) containing software.
