Abstract

A manually operable gear shift lever is disposed in a narrowly limited space with radial play on a stationary guide tube. The lower end of the gear shift lever is disposed in a pivotable ball joint. A gear shift rod leads from the gear shift lever to the transmission. The gear shift lever is disposed on the guide tube in an easily movable, durably lubricated and vibration-damping manner.
