ABSTRACT:
An improved transmission in a motor vehicle including a body, an engine located in the vicinity of the center of the body, a pair of footrests attached to the body near the engine, and front and rear wheels. The transmission is integral with the engine and has a casing, a shift spindle having one end projecting from the casing and rotatable for shifting the transmission, and a control lever coupled to the shift spindle. According to the improvement, a cam means is interposed between the control lever and the casing for limiting shifting operation of the control lever. The cam means comprises a cam member having a cam surface and fixed to the casing, a shaft member axially slidably fitted in the control lever and having a control knob on a first end thereof, and a spring disposed between the shaft member and the control lever for urging the shaft member to cause a second end of the shaft member to abut against the cam surface of the cam member. The cam means makes gear shifting operation more reliable and convenient.
