Abstract
A way sensor arrangement () for detecting the displacement of a mechanical component in relation to another component. The way sensor arrangement having a sensor housing () that is firmly mounted to a first (gear case) of these two components and a sensor carriage () that interacts with the housing and can be coupled to the second component (shift rail). The invention provides that the sensor carriage () is mounted in the sensor housing () displaceably in the direction of displacement of the displaceable component (shift rail) and that mutually interacting coupling device (catch projectioncatch recess) are provided on the sensor carriage () and on the second component (shift rail), which can mutually engage with each other.
