Abstract
Disclosed is a transmission manipulation device for a transmission which is improved in eliminating abnormal circumferential wear of a shift fork due to pressure contact with the sleeve of a clutch mechanism incorporated in the transmission. The device has a shift and select lever shaft provided with a first retaining portion and a second retaining portion. The second retaining portion is engageable with the engaging portion of the first shift head only when a first retaining portion engages with the engaging portion of one of a plurality of shift forks on the lever shaft. When the shift and select lever shaft is rotated after axial movement against the resilient force of a resilient member, the second retaining portion is retained by the first shift head to prevent axial movement of the lever shaft due to the reactional force of the resilient member.
