The invention discloses a shifting fork assembly for an engine starter of an automobile. The shifting fork assembly comprises a shifting fork and a shifting block, wherein the shifting fork is an integral part; the upper part of the shifting fork is a straight plate part and the lower part of the shifting fork is a bilaterally symmetrical semicircular fork part; the middle of the straight plate part is provided with a positioning pin assembled with the starter; the upper end of the straight plate part is sleeved in a rectangular hole on an electromagnetic switch pull rod of the starter and moves along with the movement of the electromagnetic switch pull rod; and a left shifting block and a right shifting block which are opposite to each other are integrally molded on the inner sides of left and right sides of the lower end of the semicircular fork part and matched with a one-way clutch groove of the starter. The left and right shifting forks of the starter are integrated with a semi-annual shifting block by changing the structure of an internal shifting fork of the starter and a pin shaft is eliminated, so that wear of the shifting fork is restrained. The shifting fork assembly has the advantages of simple and compact structure and high durability.
