Gear shifting device, a transmission and a method for assembling a transmission

A gear shifting device for a transmission of a vehicle, comprising:

• a rod configured to be connected to an actuator for moving the rod along a longitudinal axis of the rod,
• a set of shift forks comprising a first shift fork and a second shift fork, the first and second shift forks being fixed to the rod so as to be actuated in unison, characterized in that
• the rod comprises a first part and a second part configured to be mechanically connected to each other via at least one connection interface, wherein the first shift fork is fixed to the first part of the rod and the second shift fork is fixed to the second part of the rod,
• wherein the first part of the rod comprises a first interlocking member and the second part of the rod comprises a second interlocking member, wherein the first and second interlocking members constitute the connection interface, and are configured to, when mechanically interlocked, prevent relative movement of the first and second parts along the longitudinal axis, and wherein the interlocking members are configured to be mechanically interlocked by moving one of the interlocking members in a transverse direction into or onto the other interlocking member.
