Cam mechanism for actuating a selector shaft

A method for assembling a cam mechanism, the method comprising:

• providing a cylindrical outer body with an inner circumferential surface and a cam track disposed on the inner circumferential surface, the cylindrical outer body having an endless periodicity in a circumferential direction with at least one highest point and at least one lowest point, wherein the outer body has a first part and a second part, wherein the cam track with the highest point is disposed in the first part and the cam track with the lowest point is disposed in the second part;
• providing at least one guide element;
• providing at least one transmission element;
• arranging the first part or the second part with the at least one transmission element and the at least one guide element relative to one another in such a way that the guide element is disposed in the cam track and in operative connection with the transmission element;
• and,
• joining the first part and the second part to form the cam track.
