Abstract
A mounting for a shift lever (1) for the mechanical remote control of a selector shaft of a gear change box in motor vehicles, in which the shift lever (1) is mounted pivotably around a selection axis and around a shifting axis, which is at right angles thereto, by means of a spherical part (2) of a universal joint in a bearing box (4) in a housing (3) that is a rigid part of the body, and is connected by coupling members (7, 16) to a sliding selector shaft of a gear change box. The coupling members for transmitting the movement of the shift lever to the sliding selector shaft are connected, articulated around an axle (9, 12) each, to the spherical part (2) of a universal joint, wherein the axle extends in one pivoting plane of the shift lever (1) at right angles to the pivot axis of the shift lever in the other direction of pivoting.
