  • Transmission
    Patent number: 9327690
    Abstract: A parking lock device includes: a transmission shaft supported by a first case and a second case and connected to drive wheels; a parking gear fixed to the transmission shaft; and a parking pole engageable with the parking gear. A cover member is fixed to an inner wall surface of the second case. The cover member covers at least an outer peripheral surface of the parking gear with a predetermined clearance therebetween in a state where the second case is joined to the first case. When the second case to which the cover member is attached in advance is joined to the first case to which the parking gear is attached in advance, the cover member is guided by the outer peripheral surface of the parking gear. Thus, the second case 13 can be joined to the first case easily.
