ABSTRACT:
A gear shifting mechanism of an axle drive system comprises: a shaft drivingly connected to an axle; a first clutch gear relatively rotatably provided on the shaft, the first clutch gear having first clutch teeth; a second clutch gear relatively rotatably provided on the shaft, the second clutch gear having second clutch teeth; a spline hub fixed on the shaft between the first and second clutch gears; a gear shifting slider axially slidably and not relatively rotatably fitted on the spline hub; slider-shift means integrally movably interlocking with the gear shifting slider; operation means operatively interposed between the slider-shift means and a gear shifting manipulator; and elastic means interposed between the slider-shift means and the operation means. End surfaces of the first, second and third clutch teeth facing one another are flat. The elasticity of elastic means allows the movement of the slider-shift means relative to the operation means, and biases the third clutch teeth to engage with either the first or second clutch teeth.
