Shifting device for a motor vehicle transmission

An actuating element is moved into a first gate selection position in which a first actuating member 9 is moved in a first direction to a first gear selection position to engage an engagement section 11 of a first contour 10. The contour is connected to a first shifting means 1 to engage a first gear (I). The actuating element features an additional actuating member 12 that can be moved in a direction opposite to the first direction to engage an engagement section 14 of an additional contour 13. The additional contour is connected to an additional shifting means 5 in order to engage an additional gear (II). The actuating element may be adjusted into another gate selection position that differs from the first gate selection position and in which a further actuating member 15 of the actuating element can be adjusted into a gear selection position, in or opposite to the first gear selecting direction. There may be a further contour with an engagement section 17, which can be connected to the first shifting means and moved via engagement with a further actuating member 15 to engage a further gear (III) that differs from the first gear.
