A two-wheel and four-wheel driving change-over device for a vehicle is provided. A change-over unit intermittently performs power transmission for the power transmission mechanism. The change-over unit includes a driving shaft connected to a driving side, a driven shaft fitted to the driving shaft with an annular clearance therebetween. A plurality of engaging or disengaging members installed in a clearance between the driving shaft and driven shaft are engaged with or disengaged from the opposing surfaces for performing a connecting operation and a disconnecting operation between the driving shaft and driven shaft. A change-over mechanism is provided for selectively positioning the engaging or disengaging members between a position where the driving shaft and driven shaft are connected and a position where the driving shaft and driven shaft are disconnected.
