Compared with the shift fork structure in the prior art, the shift fork in the utility model is more closely attached to the circumferential side of the synchronizer when in use, which can increase the contact area between the shift fork and the synchronizer, making the force more uniform. When actually used in the synchronizer, since the first clamping part and the second clamping part on the mounting part of the shift fork body are designed to protrude from the connecting bridge part, the opening diameter between the two second clamping parts is smaller than the opening diameter formed by the inner side wall of the mounting part. In other words, the diameter of the mounting opening on the shift fork body is reduced by setting the first clamping part, the second clamping part and other connection point structures, so that the overall size of the adapted shift fork sleeve is also reduced accordingly. Furthermore, a clamping hole for connecting the shift fork sleeve is provided on one side of the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion near the center of the mounting portion, and the shift fork sleeve is fixed on the shift fork body by clamping the clamping column into the clamping hole. The inner diameter of the connecting plate on the shift fork sleeve is slightly smaller than the opening diameter between the two second clamping portions. Compared with the shift fork structure in the prior art, when the shift fork in the utility model is actually used in the synchronizer, the shift fork and the circumferential surface of the synchronizer are more closely attached, the contact area between the two is increased, and the force is more uniform, which can effectively reduce the situation of second gear tooth hitting in the durability test and improve the overall performance.
