Abstract
The disclosure relates to a shifting device for a vehicle transmission. The shifting device comprises a gearshift lever for selecting a transmission setting of the vehicle transmission, wherein the gearshift lever can move along at least one first shift gate and one second shift gate, a marking element mechanically coupled to the gearshift lever, having at least one first marking line dedicated to the first shift gate and one second marking line dedicated to the second shift gate, a guide assembly, which is configured to guide the marking element along the first marking line to a detection position when the gearshift lever is moved along the first shift gate, and to move the marking element along the second marking line to the detection position when the gearshift lever is moved along the second shift gate, and lastly, a detection device, which is disposed at the detection position and is configured to create a movement signal representing a movement of the first marking line and/or the second marking line in relation to the detection position, in order to determine a position of the gearshift lever in the first shift gate and/or the second shift gate.
