    Abstract: A transmission, includes: a plurality of shift members, adapted to be moved in a shifting direction and a selecting direction; a shift lug, having a pair of claw portions spaced apart from each other in the shifting direction; and a shift fork, connected to the shift lug via a shift rail. The shift members are moved by an actuator so that one of the shift members pushes one of the claw portions in the shifting direction to thereby selectively move the shift lug in the shifting direction so as to cause the shift fork to perform a gear shift operation via the shift rail. The shift members are disposed as to be offset from each other in the shifting direction.
