Abstract
In a manual transmission having a gear which is axially slidable from its neutral position to its operating position, there is provided a gear operating mechanism which is constructed to positively prevent the undesirable 'gear disengagement'. The mechanism comprises an operating lever pivotable about a first axis relative to the transmission case to move the gear between the neutral position and the operating position; a handling lever pivotable about a second axis relative to the transmission case, the second axis being parallel with the first axis; and means for providing a cam-connection between the operating and handling levers in such a manner that the pivotal movement of the handling lever about the second axis within a predetermied angular range induces through the operating lever the movement of the gear between the neutral and operating positions, wherein the parts are so arranged that when, with the gear assuming the operating position, a force is applied to the gear to urge the same in a direction from the operating position to the neutral position, at least a part of the force is received by the transmission case through the operating lever, the handling lever and the means.
