Abstract

The present invention intends to provide a controlling device for transmission in which locking action of the locking mechanism is not hindered by a part of the controlling device such as an actuator, when a fork shaft as an operating mechanism is held at a neutral position. For such purpose, the controlling device for transmission includes plural fork shafts, a selecting member selectively engaging with one of the fork shafts, a selecting actuator for moving the selecting member to engage with the fork shaft, a shifting actuator for applying load to the fork shaft engaged by the selecting member, and locking mechanism for locking the fork shafts. In such controlling device, the selecting actuator is constructed to move the selecting member to a non-engaging position not engaging with any of the fork shafts.
