Abstract
A transmission for a vehicle including first and second rotating shafts which are rotatable by the torque transmitted through a clutch. Each shaft includes several transmission gears. A resisting member can be disposed between a gear and its corresponding shaft, such that the resisting member reduces the difference in rotating speed between the first and second shafts. The resisting member serves to reduce shift shock and noise generated during shifting. Additional resisting members can be placed on either the first or second shaft in order to achieve reduced shift shock and noise.
