Abstract

A shifting device (2) for an automatic gearbox of a motor vehicle has a housing (4) and a selector lever (6) for selecting a gear stage which selector lever is guided in the housing (4). The shifting device (2) has an automatic shift gate (18) and a sequential shift gate (20), and the housing (4) has fasteners (projections and recesses) (10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) for fixing the shifting device (2) in the motor vehicle. The housing (4) can be fixed in a first position for right hand driving and in a second position which is rotated by 180 degrees relative to the first position for left hand driving. The fasteners are arranged point-symmetrically in order to rotate the shifting device (2) by 180 degrees, with the result that the respective fastening points coincide with the original fastening points after the rotation and the fasteners are fixed on in each case the same motor vehicle-side fastening points.
