Automatic transmission shift lever assembly

Abstract

The invention relates to a selector lever arrangement (1) for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle having a selector lever (2) which is pivotable about a pivot axis (a) and has the purpose of generating a selector movement (w), connecting means (3) for transferring the selector movement (w) to the automatic transmission and a connecting arrangement (4) for transmitting the selector movement (w) from the selector lever (2) to the connecting means (3). With the objective of providing a selector lever arrangement (1) which is of compact design, whose connecting means (3) may be arranged at a desired height and which avoids a reversal of the selector movement (w), it is proposed that the connecting arrangement (4) has a planetary gear mechanism (5), the selector lever (2) being connected to the input side of the planetary gear mechanism (5) and the connecting means (3) being connected to the output side of the planetary gear mechanism (5).
