Abstract
A shift pad for a gear shift element is described, comprising: a pad section that is configured to engage a circular groove of a gear shift sleeve; a locking section for securing the shift pad to the gear shift element; and a locking element that is connected to the locking section in a fixed manner and is adapted to be subjected to plastic deformation for securing the shift pad to the gear shift element. Further, a gear shift element for a gear shift device comprising the above shift pad is described. Detaching of the shift pad from the shift element during the transportation or the assembly process is prevented by this design.
