Assembly for Actuating a Shift Element of a Transmission

An arrangement for actuating a shift element of a gearbox, comprising:

• a shift pawl (3) pivotably mounted about a pivot axis (2);
• and
• a rotatable shift ring (4) comprising an outer toothing (5) and assigned to a gearbox element,
• wherein a first end (6) of the shift pawl (3) is assigned to the outer toothing (5) of the shift ring (4) so as to lock or release the shift ring (4) in order to shift a gear stage,
• wherein a second end (7) of the shift pawl (3) is assigned to a shift gate (8) comprising an alternately rising and falling course on an outer circumference of a shift drum (9) that actuates the shift pawl (3),
• wherein a first contact line region (10) between a contact surface course (11) on the first end of the shift pawl (3) and a contact surface course (12) on the outer toothing (5) of the shift ring (4) is configured such that a contact engagement angle (φ) of the shift pawl (3) is no less than ninety-one degrees and no greater than ninety-seven degrees, the contact engagement angle (φ) defined between a first leg and a second leg, the first leg formed by a connection (26) between the first contact line region (10) and the pivot axis (2) of the shift pawl (3), the second leg formed by a tangent to the contact surface course (11) in the first contact line region (10).
