A selection assembly includes a stalk 26 that is operable in at least two directions of movement relative to a steering column (28 fig 1). A user interface 30 is incorporated within the stalk 26. A combination of a primary movement path 34 (see also fig 3) and a secondary movement path 36 operates the stalk 26 between a plurality of gear selector positions and a plurality of drive train settings associated with a gear selector interface and a drive train selection interface respectively. The stalk is biased to a ready state that is positioned between the gear selector interface and the drive train selection interface. The invention provides convenient user access during vehicle operation.
