Abstract
An actuator system for a gear shifting mechanism with a gear shifting shaft of a motor vehicle has a first actuator having a first control member moveable into various first switching positions and a second actuator having a second control member moveable into various second switching positions. One of the first and second actuators displaces the gear shifting shaft in the axial direction of the gear shifting shaft and the other of the first and second actuators rotates the gear shifting shaft. The first and second control members have axes positioned parallel to one another. A kinematic coupling device connects the first and second control members and the gear shifting shaft.
