Abstract

A speed change apparatus for a vehicle includes a gear transmission, a shift lever device arranged in a zone where a driver on a driver's seat can operate the shift lever device, and an operation force transmission mechanism. The shift lever device is provided with a detent mechanism for positioning and holding the shift lever at each shift position, and an operation force transmission mechanism is constituted by a push pull cable.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a speed change apparatus of a vehicle including a gear transmission, a shift lever device arranged in a zone where a driver on a driver's seat can operate the shift lever device, and an operation force transmission mechanism for transmitting an operation force of the shift lever device to the gear transmission.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]FIG. 12 shows a shift lever device according to a conventional art described in JP Laid-open Publication No. 2006-082737. A shift lever 301 is turnable in a forward and rearward direction and in a right and left direction by two lever shafts 310, 311. The two lever shafts 310,311 are at right angles to one another. The shift lever 301 is connected to a shift device in a gear transmission (not shown) through a push pull cable 302. The shift device in the transmission is provided with a detent mechanism for holding a shift shaft at a shift posit...
