Abstract

An end of a shaft member which is displaced and actuated in conjunction with a shift lever of a transmission presses and displaces a latch which is arranged in such a way as to be able to be displaced in an opposing direction against a cam surface of a cam which is formed on a fixed member to function like a wedge which wedges itself between said cam surface and latch, thereby making the latch engage teeth which are drivingly coupled to an output shaft of the transmission in a parking mechanism of a transmission. A cylindrical support portion is continuously extended from the cam surface so as to guide the end of the shaft member at the time when the end of the shaft member is disengaged from the area between the cam surface and latch.
