In a transmission for automobiles, the shift feeling is improved by smoothly transferring the operational load between a shift rod and a reverse shift fork. This is accomplished by cam faces formed on a reverse shift fork which shifts a reverse idle gear between a neutral position and a reverse position, and cam faces are formed on a drive cam which moves integrally with a shift rod. When the drive cam is moved from a neutral position to the reverse position, one of the cam faces presses against another of the cam faces moving the reverse shift fork in a circular manner in an anticlockwise direction, and the reverse idle gear moves to the reverse position. When the drive cam member is moved from the reverse position to the neutral position, another of the cam faces presses against still another of the cam faces moving the reverse shift fork in a circular manner in a clockwise direction, and the reverse idle gear moves to the neutral position.
A transmission gear shift system comprising a transmission case, a reverse shift fork supported on the transmission case in a circularly movable manner by a fulcrum pin, a shift rod for driving the reverse shift fork in an axially movable manner wherein the reverse shift fork is moved in a circular manner in one direction by movement of the shift rod from a neutral position to a reverse position, and a reverse idle gear is shifted from a neutral position to a reverse position by the reverse shift fork for establishing a reverse gear shift stage, wherein the reverse shift fork is moved in a circular manner in the other direction by movement of the shift rod from the reverse position to the neutral position and the reverse idle gear is shifted from the reverse position to the neutral position by the reverse shift fork to release the established reverse gear shift stage,
