ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A selector detent means in a gear shifting device on, or in conjunction with, a rotating shaft, the axial displacement of which, from the neutral position, serves to select a gate, whereas the rotation thereof engages the gears. Arranged in the rotating shaft, or upon at least one locking ring, are locking paths which act only in the selecting direction and cooperate with at least one detent element guided in the control housing. Under the action of a spring, being against the control housing, the detent element is urged towards the locking path so that, under the action of the locks, a locking projection occurs which makes it easy for the driver to find the gates as he moves the gear shift lever. Under the additional action of a holding-coupling spring assembly, the gear shift lever is guided back into a predetermined gate or the detent elements are preferably designed pivotably, e.g. as detent levers, and are mounted upon a first pin secured, in the control housing, at right angles to the rotating shaft. A projection on the detent lever is in operative connection only with the locks of a detent ring and the pivoting movement of the detent lever is restricted by a second pin arranged in parallel with the first in an opening or elongated hole, in such a manner that a gap occurs between the projection and the bottom of the locking path or of the rotating shaft. As a result of the small amount of friction during the pivoting movement, and of the elimination of any friction outside the locks, the gear shift is smooth and of simple design.
