Gear type transmission apparatus

A gear type transmission apparatus comprising,

• a transmission case containing a gear train arrangement including a plurality of gear trains and an output shaft to which an output of an engine is transmitted through the gear train arrangement and provided with an opening at an upper portion thereof,
• a cover member mounted on the upper portion of said transmission case to cover said opening,
• a holder member formed separately from said cover member and fixed on an under surface of said cover member to be positioned at the inside of a contacting face of said cover member provided for coming into contact with an upper end face of said transmission case, and wherein said holder member is provided with a shift rod supporting portion disposed to be at least partially lower than the level of the contacting face of said cover member, and
• a shift rod supported by said shift rod supporting portion of said holder member to be movable in a direction along its axis at a position above the output shaft for causing the gear trains to be in operation to transmit the output selectively.
• said holder member is formed in the shape of a generally rectangular frame to include a pair of lateral side portions each extending in a direction crossing said shift rod for supporting said shift rod and a pair of longitudinal side portions each interconnecting therethrough said front and rear said portions.

A gear type transmission apparatus comprising,

• a transmission case containing a gear train arrangement including a plurality of gear trains and an output shaft to which an output of an engine is transmitted through the gear train arrangement and provided with an opening at an upper potion thereof,
• a cover member mounted on the upper portion of said transmission case to cover said opening,
• a holder member formed separately from said cover member and fixed on an under surface of said cover member to be positioned at the inside of a contacting face of said cover member provided for coming into contact with an upper end face of said transmission case,
• a shift rod supported by said holder member to be movable in a direction along its axis at a position above the output shaft for causing the gear trains to be in operation to transmit the output selectively, and
• wherein said contacting face of the cover member is formed along a bottom peripheral portion of the cover member and at least a part of said shift rod is positioned to be higher than the lever of said contacting face.

A gear type transmission apparatus comprising,

• a transmission case containing a gear train arrangement including a plurality of gear trains and an output shaft to which an output of an engine is transmitted through the gear train arrangement and provided with an opening at an upper portion thereof,
• a cover member mounted on the upper portion of said transmission case to cover said opening, said cover member is shaped to include a concavity facing toward the transmission case forming therein a space,
• a holder member formed separately from said cover member and fixed on an under surface of said cover member to be at least partially contained within said space and positioned at the inside of a contacting face of said cover member provided for coming into contact with an upper end face of said transmission case, and
• a shift rod supported by said holder member to be movable in a direction along its axis at a position above the output shaft for causing the gear trains to be in operation to transmit the output selectively.
