Abstract
The present invention relates to a stop member which is used in a four-wheel vehicle drive system in an automotive vehicle. Particularly, the stop member includes a tentative holding portion which provides for temporary alignment of members of the transmission, and a firmly gripping portion which firmly holds members of the transmission together once they are appropriately aligned. Specifically, the stop member includes a pair of legs for the tentative holding portion and an enclosed area for the firmly gripping portion. The firmly gripping portion of the stop member contacts with a fork shaft in the transmission to hold the fork shaft at a fixed position.
