Abstract
A gearshift apparatus for an automobile with an electromagnetic powder clutch and a transmission having four forward-gear trains. The apparatus comprises a first synchronizing device for selectively engaging a second speed gear and a fourth speed gear with an output shaft of the transmission, a second synchronizing device for selectively engaging a first speed gear and a third speed gear with the output shaft, a shift lever for operating the first synchronizing device and the second synchronizing device. An actuating rod is provided for operatively connecting the shift lever with the first and second synchronizing devices. The shift lever is rotatably supported on a holding lever which is rotatably about an axis. The axis is substantially coaxial with the actuating rod. The holding lever is held in a range for operating the first synchronizing device and a range for operating the second synchronizing device by engagement of a spring loaded ball and in grooves.
