Telescopic steering column for a motor vehicle

A telescopic steering column for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a base element on which a base element spindle is mounted so as to be rotatable about a base element spindle rotation axis, and
• a telescopic unit which is guided linearly with respect to the base element and which has a telescopic unit driver having a telescopic unit driver thread that engages with a base element spindle thread of the base element spindle,
• wherein the telescopic unit has a telescopic unit spindle which is drivingly connected to a transmission element which is coupled to the base element spindle in a tangential direction with respect to the base element spindle rotation axis and is guided so as to be freely displaceable on the base element spindle in the axial direction with respect to the base element spindle rotation axis,
• wherein the transmission element includes a form-fitting device having at least one form-fitting projection,
• wherein the base element spindle includes a form-fitting counter device having at least one form-fitting recess configured to receive the at least one form-fitting projection, and
• wherein the form-fitting device and the form-fitting counter device are configured to positively couple the transmission element to the base element spindle in the tangential direction while permitting displacement of the transmission element relative to the base element spindle in the axial direction.
