Publication number: 20180266493Abstract: A shifting device for a motor vehicle is described, comprising a first coupling component which is adapted to be selectively rotationally coupled to a second coupling component with a form-fit. In an open state, the first coupling component is rotationally decoupled from the second coupling component. In a frictional fit state, the coupling components are rotationally coupled with a frictional fit via a first frictional fit ring and a second frictional fit ring. In a form-fit state, an actuating ring is rotationally coupled to the first coupling component and the second coupling component with a form-fit such that the latter are connected with a form-fit. A motor vehicle transmission, in particular a fully automatic stepped transmission having such a shifting device is additionally presented.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2018Publication date: September 20, 2018Inventors: Andreas DEMPFLE, Juergen BINDER, Peter ECHTLER
