Abstract

An arrangement for damping vibrations in a vehicle transmission shifting system in which the shift rod between the gear shift lever and the shifting transmission is divided into two parts. The two partial sections are connected with one another by way of a hinge and a support bearing. The support bearing has play and is provided with an elastic layer to effectively dampen vibrations occurring perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rod.
