Abstract
A replaceable shift pad which can be mounted on the end of a shift fork comprises two plate-like side legs which are interconnected and parallel to each other. The inner sides of the side legs contact appropriate side surfaces of the shift fork. The outer sides of the side legs comprise sliding planes for sliding force transmission between the shift fork and a rotating shift sleeve. To provide a large supported area between the shift fork and the shift sleeve and to provide a shift pad which is resistant against vibratory stress it is suggested to connect the two side legs to each other by connecting means which are in line with the side legs, and which are tangentially orientated with regard to the shift sleeve rotation direction and extend beyond the end of the shift fork.
