ABSTRACT:
In a shifting mechanism housed in a case a first relatively rotating member rotates about an axis. A second relatively rotating member is selectively coupled and decoupled with the first member. The coupling has a first spline tooth with a first axial length, and a second spline tooth with a second axial length longer than the first spline tooth. The second spline tooth has an end having a frusto-conical shape. One of the first and second members has a plurality of third spline teeth for engagement with the spline teeth of the coupling. The third spline teeth have a complimentary frusto-conical shape. A selector is moveable for actuating the coupling to mutually connect and disconnect the members. A resilient connection is provided between the coupling and selector.
