    摘要: The present disclosure provides a gear selection unit for an automatic transmission. The gear selection unit may include a mount having a gate, where the gate has an automatic channel oriented in a longitudinal direction and a tapping channel disposed adjacent to the automatic channel, and where the automatic channel and the tapping channel are connected to one another via a connecting channel. A selection lever may be inserted in the gate, and the selection lever may be pivotably supported in the mount. A cable pull slider may be movably supported in the longitudinal direction in the mount, where the cable pull slider is coupled to the selection lever via a releasable first coupling device when the selection lever is disposed in the automatic channel. A connector may be coupled in the longitudinal direction to the cable pull slider via a second coupling device.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device (14) for securing a clamping element against unintentional release, with a disk-shaped structure (15) that is penetrated in an axial manner by a bore hole (16). Thereby, the structure (15) is provided for an inner diameter with a driving profile (17) defined by the bore hole (16), which, in the placement of the structure (15), engages with the bore hole (16) on a radially inner component in a profile provided on the part of such component and thereby establishes a torque-proof coupling of the structure (15) with this component. In addition, the structure (15) is provided, in an axial manner on both sides, with contact surfaces (18, 19) that run in a radial manner. In order to provide a device that can be mounted on a radially inner component in a manner that is as free of backlash as possible and with low expenses, a profile plane (22) of the driving profile (17) is tilted at an angle (φ) with respect to radial planes (20, 21) of the contact surfaces (18, 19).
