ABSTRACT:
A gear shifting apparatus includes a fork shaft, a plurality of shift forks, an operation lever, a received member, a receiving member and a groove. The received member is fastened on the fork shaft. The receiving member is disposed in a housing, and slidably receives an end of the received member. The groove is formed in one of the received member and the receiving member, and engages with the other one of the received member and the receiving member so as to define the movement of the fork shaft in the selecting direction. Thus, the shift forks can be slid smoothly on the fork shaft, because no load is applied to the shift forks in the selecting direction which results in the torsion between the shift forks and the fork shaft and finally in the excessive sliding resistance therebetween.
