Abstract
A gear-shift mechanism for a manual transmission includes first, second and third shift heads arranged in sequence, the first and second shift heads each being operatively connected to first and second synchronizers respectively for establishing first and second speed gear trains and for establishing third and fourth speed gear trains, and the third shift head being operatively connected to a shift fork for establishing a reverse gear train, and further includes a shift-and-select lever operatively connected to a manual shift lever to be axially shifted in selecting operation for selective engagement with the shift heads and to be rotated at its shifted position in shifting operation for establishment of the selected gear train. The gear-shift mechanism is arranged to temporarily operate the first synchronizer in shifting operation for establishment of the reverse gear train so as to effect synchronous rotation of input and output shafts of the transmission prior to the establishment of the reverse gear train.
