Abstract
In a transmission which incorporates a plurality of speed change gear trains, a plurality of clutches to select one of the gear trains for power transmission and a plurality of shift forks to selectively activate one of the clutches, a gearshift coveys a force applied by a shift lever selectively to one of the shift forks to achieve a gear change. The gearshift comprises a plurality of linkages which convey the force applied by the shift lever to the shift forks and selectively. In this gearshift, at least two of these linkages include rocking levers and respectively, each of which functions to reverse the direction of the force applied by the shift lever. These rocking levers are disposed on a common pivot or a retaining pin such that each rocking lever can swing independently thereon.
