Abstract
An erroneous gearshifting prevention mechanism includes a sliding lever mounted on a shift lever shaft supported on a case cover attached to a transmission case. The sliding lever has a projection including a slanted surface engageable with a reverse restriction pin rotatably and axially movably disposed in a boss integral with the case cover. When a shift lever mounted on the shift lever shaft is shifted in error from a fifth-speed gear position toward a reverse gear position, the projection is engaged by the reverse restriction pin and prevented from further movement. Any force imposed by the projection on the reverse restriction pin is directed by the slanted surface toward a relatively thick wall portion of the boss. The boss is thus protected against damage or breakage.
