An arrangement for locking a selector mechanism can be moved by a manual selector element, into, among others, positions P and R and is usable for an automatically operating change-speed gearbox. A servomotor can be moved by auxiliary force into one end position, in which locking dogs for locking the manual selector element in the P-position are disengaged, and by spring force into its other end position, in which locking dogs for blocking the movement of the manual selector element into the R-position are disengaged.
