Abstract
A shift actuator of the present invention includes a first and a second fluid pressure chamber for providing fluid pressure to each of a first and a second piston defined in a cylinder and a shift operating member inserted and disposed between the first piston and the second piston to move back and forth along the axial direction. On a side surface to the axial direction of the cylinder, an opening portion to which the shift operating member is inserted is formed. The opening portion is provided opening only to a part of the circumferential direction of the cylinder, and a lower end of the opening portion in a circumferential direction of the cylinder reaches a just under position in the vertical direction of the cylinder. This enables to discharge foreign matters included in hydraulic oil in the cylinder according to a stroke of the piston, with a simple configuration.
