Shift detent, function 

When the selector lever (80) is moved into one of the selector lever positions "R", "N" and "D" the roller (84) locks in position in the recess (69d) via the cams. The selector lever (80) is locked to prevent longitudinal movement. It can now only be shifted out of the respective selector lever position by overcoming the force of the leaf spring (85).

Sideways movement in selector lever position "D" (touch shift in direction "+" and "-") is still possible. The selector lever (80) can move freely in this direction. After a touch shift, the retracting spring (82) pushes the selector lever (80) back to its initial position.
