  • Publication number: 20120204669
    Abstract: A shifting device for a multi-group transmission having a manual main group with an odd number of forward gears and a range group for shifting between two gear ranges. A shift finger system and a logical shifting pattern for shifting the transmission with and without a range change. The system comprises single shift fingers and possibly double shift fingers which are located in a plane and offset from one another. Carrier elements are associated with the shift fingers, by which the carrier elements can be optionally actuated in two opposite shifting directions and/or a particular shifting direction can be reversed, so that the gears of the two gear ranges can be actuated in a multiple-H shifting pattern in sequence by alternating shift lever movements, and a shift of the gear range can be produced by a selection movement of the shift lever.
