Abstract
A vehicle transmission is provided that performs a dial type gear shift operation. The vehicle transmission includes a knob that rotates to select a shaft stage and an operation unit that rotates to generate the operation feeling when the knob rotates. Additionally, a plurality of gear units are configured to transmit the rotational force of the knob to the operation unit and at least one of the plurality of the gear units has a central axis spaced apart from the rotational axis of the knob.

A vehicle transmission, comprising:
- a knob configured to rotate to select a shift stage;
- an operation unit configured to rotate during rotation of the knob to generate a tactile response when rotated;
- a plurality of gear units configured to transmit a rotational force of the knob to the operation unit, and
- a case that accommodates the operation unit and the plurality of gear units disposed therewithin and the knob disposed on one side thereof,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of the gear units includes a first external gear that has a central axis eccentrically spaced apart from a rotational axis of the knob and a second external gear that has the central axis same as the first external, and
- wherein the rotational axis of the knob is fixed with respect to the case, and the central axis of the first external gear and the second external gear is configured to revolve around the rotational axis of the knob.
