Abstract: A decoupling mechanism is provided by incorporating a connecting element into the gearshift linkage disposed between the transmission and gearshift lever. A relatively simple and compact decoupling device is provided for effectively eliminating gear jumping. For this purpose, segmental sleeve portions having internally toothed gear means are axially coupled with the gearshift rod disposed on the side of the gearshift lever, but are adapted for radial inward displacement against the force exerted by springs through cams provided on the tubular casing. Externally toothed gear means are provided on the gearshift rod disposed on the transmission side in the area of the sleeve portions.
