Abstract
The mounting of a speed meter drive gear for an automobile is improved. That is, the speed meter drive gear is provided on an outer circumferential surface of a connecting member for transmitting a driving force such as to a companion flange mounted to an output shaft of a transmission. With this arrangement, a shaft length of the output shaft of the transmission may be shortened, thereby preventing creation of vibration, making the drive gear lightweight, and decreasing a joint angle of a propeller shaft.
