Abstract

This invention relates to a selector lever for a motor vehicle transmission, in the case of which, by way of a push button, a detent element can be moved so that the selector lever can be adjusted into different positions. In order to allow a restoring of the detent element to take place with as little noise as possible, the restoring movement is damped according to the invention. In a suitable manner, a visco-damper is used for this purpose.
