Abstract
An axial shifter assembly for a transmission. The axial shifter assembly includes a gear and a shifting collar arranged co-axially with each other. The shifting collar has at least one axial tooth projecting axially therefrom and is movable axially between an engaged position in which the at least one axial tooth drivingly engages with the gear and a disengaged position in which the at least one axial tooth is disengaged from the gear. The axial shifter assembly also includes a piston disposed at least partially radially inwards of the shifting collar. The shifting collar moves with the piston. The piston is actuatable between a first axial position corresponding to the disengaged position and a second axial position corresponding to the engaged position.
