A power transmission apparatus in which a crank shaft of an internal combustion engine, an input shaft of a speed-change mechanism and an output shaft of the speed-change mechanism are arranged in three parallel rows, the input shaft being provided at an end portion with a torque convertor drivingly coupled to the crank shaft. At least two gears are provided on the input shaft and are in mesh with respective gears rotatably mounted on the output shaft. The output shaft is provided at an intermediate portion between the two gears thereon with a shift member which is connected for common rotation with the output shaft but is slidable thereon in axial direction. Between each end surface of the shift member and a facing surface of the gear on the output shaft there is interposed a dog clutch comprising pins on one surface and pin openings in the other surface.
Power transmission apparatus comprising an internal combustion engine having a crank shaft, a speed-change mechanism having an input shaft and an output shaft, said crank shaft, said input shaft and said output shaft being mounted in three parallel rows, a torque converter disposed at an end portion of said input shaft and drivingly coupled thereto, two axially spaced gears rotatably mounted on said output shaft and driven in rotation from said input shaft, a shift member mounted on said output shaft between said two gears, a shift drum and a guide shaft extending parallel to said output shaft, a shift fork axially movable on said guide shaft and in engagement with said shift member and said shift drum to effect relative axial displacement of said shift member on said output shaft towards said gears and dog clutch means between said shift member and each of said two gears for engaging the same in rotation upon relative axial displacement of said shift member.
