Damping device for a selector shaft and gearshift tower having the damping device

A gearshift tower, comprising:

• a selector shaft for transmitting shifting and/or selection movements, the selector shaft being pivotal and/or displaceable;
• and a damping device for damping of oscillations or vibrations of the selector shaft during the shifting and/or selection movements, the damping device including a damper weight having a damper unit;
• and a guide device, wherein the guide device is arranged to guide the damper weight in a circumferential direction about a pivoting axis of the selector shaft, wherein the damper weight is guided in the circumferential direction so as to be damped by the damper unit, wherein the guide device is also arranged to guide and/or hold the damper weight rigidly and/or without damping in a radial direction with respect to the pivoting axis, wherein the damper unit is arranged off-center, asymmetrically and/or eccentrically with respect to the pivoting axis, and/or the damper weight and the damper unit form a damping absorber device arranged outside of a force transmission path for shifting and/or selection movement of the selector shaft, and further comprising a damper arm, wherein the damper weight is arranged on the damper arm with serial intermediate connection of the damper unit, and further comprising a guide arm, wherein the damper weight is coupled to the guide arm with no tolerances and/or without damping and/or rigidly.
