Abstract
An adjustment device for automatically operating a vehicle transmission, includes an actuator to operate a gear input part that, depending upon a desired gear, assumes a position corresponding to that gear. An emergency operating device is connected to the actuator for activating a tension element to establish an active connection to the gear input part for the purpose of setting a position of the gear input part corresponding to a selected gear during a failure of the actuator.
