A sensor () for indicating the engaged reverse gear is further provided in the housing (). The inhibitor () is axially movable in the housing () and follows the movement of a core part (), which is likewise movable in the axial direction through a solenoid arrangement () provided in the housing (). The coil () of the solenoid arrangement () surrounds the core part (). The solenoid arrangement () is arranged in a chamber () of the housing ().
