Abstract
The present invention is directed to a gear shifter for a transmission of a vehicle comprising a shift lever () which is mounted in a housing to be pivotable about a first axis, a position sensor assembly () disposed stationary in the housing and comprising a plurality of position sensors () distributed along a path, a sensor triggering element () mounted on an element carrier which is moveably mounted in the housing and coupled to the shift lever by a linkage () in such a manner to be able to move the sensor triggering element () along said path of position sensors () in response to pivotal shift movements of the shift lever about the first axis, characterized in that the element carrier () is pivotally mounted with respect to the position sensor assembly () at a pivot point () spaced apart from the sensor triggering element carried by it and spaced apart from the path of position sensors such that a pivotal movement of the element carrier () moves the sensor triggering element () along the path of position sensors, and in that the coupling of the linkage () to the element carrier is located on the element carrier between its pivotal mounting () and the sensor triggering element.
