A shift-by-wire shift unit for shifting a transmission of a vehicle between R, N, D and P states includes a mono-stable selector element that can be moved in opposite directions. The transmission states R and D can be reached by moving the selector element horizontally from the mono-stable position in a first and a second, opposite direction, respectively. The shift unit also includes a separate input element for changing to transmission state N. The transmission state is changeable from D to R directly by moving the selector element in the first direction, and from R to D directly by moving the selector element in the second direction. The selector element also includes a button element, and the shift unit is arranged such that, when the vehicle is at rest and the transmission is in D or R, actuating the button element effects a change to the transmission state P.
