Herein disclosed is an improved direction changing mechanism used in a shift control mechanism of a transverse manual transmission. The direction changing mechanism comprises a drive member movable together with the control rod; and at least one driven member movable together with the shift fork. The driven member is formed with a rectangular recess into which a head portion of the drive member is insertable under a certain condition so that upon selecting operation, the head portion of the drive member is put in the recess of the driven member and upon shifting operation, the head portion of the drive member abuts against one of the side walls of the recess thereby to move the driven member in a certain direction thereby completing a gear coupling. The head portion of the drive member is so sized and constructed that when the drive member assumes its rest or neutral position, the head portion is spacedly put in the recess without contacting the driven member, while, when the drive member assumes its operative position to complete the gear coupling, the head portion contact both the side walls of the recess.

A positive parking brake for a vehicle with a transmission output shaft having a pair of gears rotatable thereon. A hub is fixed to the shaft between the gears and a clutch sleeve is axially slidably splined to the hub periphery whereby the sleeve and hub may be selectively coupled to the clutch teeth or either gear. A sleeve shifter fork has an opening therethrough whereby a braking pawl may be operated by a cam and spring device so as to extend through the fork opening to engage brake teeth on the sleeve periphery and brake the vehicle.

In an automotive manual transmission having a common fork shaft on and along which a plurality for shift forks are slidable and a control rod which is rotatable about and slidable along the axis thereof which is normal to the axis of the common fork shaft, there is provided a shaft control mechanism which converts the axial movement of the control rod to a sliding movement of selected one of the shift forks along the axis of the common fork shaft. The shift control mechanism comprises a supporting member removably connected to the transmission housing, a pivoting pin supported by the supporting member and having an axis which is normal to both the axes of the common fork shaft and the control rod, a plurality of pivoting levers pivotally mounted by the pivoting pin so as to be pivotable about the axis of the pivoting pin, one end of each pivotting lever being pivotally jointed with an extension of the corresponding one of the shift forks to cause movement of the corresponding shift fork on and along the common fork shaft upon pivoting movement of the pivotting lever, and a head member secured to the control rod, the head member being brought into engagement with the other end of each pivoting lever upon rotational movement of the control rod about its axis into a given position.
