The invention relates to an electromagnetic shift arrangement, for a gearbox (2), with gearwheels (4, 6), arranged on a gearshaft (12), rotatable about an axis (20), which may be rotatably fixed to the gearshaft (12) to form a gear ratio, by means of an axial movement of a shift dog (18), along the axis (20). The electromagnetic device (24, 26, 40) is arranged close to the shift dog (18) and operates the shift dog (18) directly, without a shift fork.
