Abstract
Herein disclosed is an improved direction changing mechanism used in a shift control mechanism of a transverse manual transmission. The direction changing mechanism comprises a drive member movable together with the control rod; and at least one driven member movable together with the shift fork. The driven member is formed with a rectangular recess into which a head portion of the drive member is insertable under a certain condition so that upon selecting operation, the head portion of the drive member is put in the recess of the driven member and upon shifting operation, the head portion of the drive member abuts against one of the side walls of the recess thereby to move the driven member in a certain direction thereby completing a gear coupling. The head portion of the drive member is so sized and constructed that when the drive member assumes its rest or neutral position, the head portion is spacedly put in the recess without contacting the driven member, while, when the drive member assumes its operative position to complete the gear coupling, the head portion contact both the side walls of the recess.
