Abstract
Vehicle gearbox with a control shaft rotatably and axially displacebly mounted transversely to the axial direction of the vehicle gearbox, the rotational movement of the control shaft from a neutral position effecting, via motion-transmitting elements, engagement of a gear speed. A lock element cooperating with the control shaft is coordinated with a sensor sensing the position of a clutch connected to the gearbox, and locks the control shaft in the neutral position when the clutch pedal is not depressed.
