Abstract

A selecting device for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle is suggested in the case of which the selector lever can be swivelled back and forth between two different shifting channels. One shifting channel for the step shifting permits a manual shifting of the automatic transmission; the other shifting channel for engaging the individual driving positions permits the automatic operation of the transmission. The selecting device is designed such that it requires little space and is constructed in a simple manner of few component parts.
