Abstract
A gear-shifting mechanism for vehicles has a crankcase, a gearbox and a reserved room. Because the reserved room is formed between a first case of the crankcase and a body of the gearbox, a shift lever can protrude out of the first case and is mounted into the reserved room to connect to a transmission between the crankcase and the gearbox. Besides, the shift lever also can protrude out of a second case to connect to a transmission opposite to the gearbox. As a result, the shift lever can output in two directions, applicable for the gearbox in left or right of the crankcase. An engine connected to the gear-shifting mechanism can be adapted for various vehicles.
