Abstract
A device is provided for transmitting a biaxial pivoting movement of a gearshift lever () into a planar movement of a gearshift lever position transmitter with a guide element () for limiting the movement of the gearshift lever position transmitter to a movement in a noncurved plane. The device includes a transmission element () for transmitting a pivoting movement of the gearshift lever () about a first pivot axis () into a pivoting movement of the gearshift lever position transmitter in a noncurved plane, and with a hinge joint for converting a pivoting movement of the gearshift lever () about a second pivot axis () into a linear movement of the gearshift lever position transmitter in the noncurved plane. The positions () of the gearshift lever () can be detected in the noncurved plane.
