A shifting device for a synchromesh-type transmission is designed to detect an accurate change of the input rotation of each area of the shifting operation, and to set the applying load to the shifting fork based on the change of input rotation. The shifting device for a synchromesh-type transmission includes a detecting device for detecting a rotation change rate of an input shaft, a judging device for judging a balk point based on the rotation change rate of the input shaft detected by said detecting device, and a transmission controlling mechanism including an electric-controlled driving device for driving a shift actuator to shift the shift fork. The driving device controls a drive current to the shift actuator when the balk point is detected by the judging device.

摘要:
An installation structure can carry out a work of attaching a connector (1) to a fuel tank with one touch without using a particular equipment or requiring a great space. A holding sleeve (24) is secured to a lid plate (22) of the fuel tank with the sleeve projecting into an interior of the tank. The holding sleeve (24) is provided in its opposite outer peripheral positions with each of a pair of windows (30). An elastic clip (29) having a substantially U-shaped configuration is mounted on the holding sleeve (24) with each leg (33) of the clip (29) projecting into an interior of the sleeve (24) through each window (30). An inner connection portion (5) of the connector (1) is provided in its opposite outer peripheral position with each of a pair of engaging grooves (36). The portion (5) is also provided in its outer surface below each engaging groove (36) with an inclined guide face (38). When the portion (5) of the connector (1) is being inserted into the holding sleeve (24), the legs (33) are deflected outwardly by the guide faces (38). When the portion (5) is completely inserted in the sleeve (24), the legs (33) fit in the respective grooves (36) by their elastic recovery forces, thereby preventing the connector (1) from coming out of the lid plate (22).

A lower case (30), constituting a housing, has a terminal fitting insertion tube (35) supporting a terminal (42) of an electrical appliance (40). The insertion hole (35) allows the insertion of a terminal fitting (50) which is inserted from the exterior for direct contact with the terminal of the electrical appliance. Intermediate wiring is unnecessary.
