Abstract
A shifting apparatus for a manual transmission able to shift two shift stages, of which selection positions are different but shift positions are the same, using a single fork and a single sleeve. Compared to the related art in which a fork and a synchronization sleeve are provided to each of two independent shift stages, the full length of the transmission is reduced, thereby reducing the weight and manufacturing costs.
Claims11
A shifting apparatus for a manual transmission comprising:
- a shift shaft comprising a shift finger;
- a shift fork rotatably disposed on a transmission housing, the shift fork comprising a first lug to which the shift finger is selectively connected, the shift fork rotating in one direction to move the sleeve in one direction as the shift shaft moves when the shift finger is connected to the first lug;
- and
- a shifting device comprising a second lug to which the shift finger is selectively connected,
- wherein the shifting device rotates the shift fork in the opposite direction such that the sleeve moves in the opposite direction as the shift shaft moves when the shift finger is connected to the second lug.
