Abstract
A selection system for an automatic motor vehicle transmission has a selector element for selecting transmission adjustments (P, R, N, D) which can be manually adjusted. A toggle lever arrangement connected with the selector element acts transversely to the moving direction of a locking element. As a result, a manual force on the selector element cannot be transmitted or can only be transmitted in a highly reduced manner to the locking element. To reduce the overall size of the systems, the locking element is preferably an armature of a solenoid arranged parallel to the axes of rotation of the toggle lever arrangement.
