Abstract: In a transmission, an input shaft connected to a startup clutch includes a first input shaft and a second input shaft. Drive gears are fixed to a first main shaft and a second main shaft, and driven gears are provided on an output shaft to be free to rotate relative thereto. The driven gears are connected to and disconnected from the output shaft by a gear switching mechanism. A shaft switching mechanism that switches a power transmission path between the first main shaft and the second main shaft is provided on the first main shaft, the second main shaft, and the second input shaft. A damping mechanism is provided between the first input shaft and the second input shaft in order to cut spike torque generated when the power transmission path is switched, to a set torque.

Abstract: A transmission includes first and second rotating shafts arranged in parallel and multiple gear sets including gears fixed to the first rotating shaft and rotatable gears rotatably supported on the second rotating shaft. Each gear set includes first and second engagement units engaged with first and second engagement-target portions formed on end surfaces of each rotatable gear and transmitting torque in first and second rotational directions; and a shift mechanism axially and independently moving the first and second engagement units. Each one of the first and second engagement units has a slanted portion allowing the engagement unit to withdraw from the rotatable gear when the other one of the engagement units is disengaged and torque transmitted in a corresponding direction is input. Each one of the first and second engagement unit of each gear set moves integrally with the other one of the engagement units of an adjacent gear set.

Abstract: A transmission includes an input shaft for receiving rotation of an engine, an intermediate shaft connected to the input shaft via a damping mechanism, drive gears, driven gears, and an output shaft. Rotation of the input shaft is transmitted to the driven gears, which are inserted into the output shaft to be free to rotate, via the damping mechanism, the intermediate shaft, and the drive gears. A gear shift is performed by fixing one of the driven gears to the output shaft to be incapable of relative rotation using a selector mechanism. An impact generated when the gear is fixed is absorbed and dampened by the damping mechanism, which is interposed between the input shaft and the intermediate shaft.
