The fork (10; 110) comprises a support portion (14; 114) arranged to be guided along a stationary rod (38, 40) of the gearbox, a pair of prongs (16; 116) which extend from the support portion (14; 114) and form at their distal ends respective finger-like portions adapted to act on a sliding coupling sleeve of the gearbox, and an actuating nose (18; 118) by means of which a sliding movement along the stationary rod (38, 40) for the engagement of the desired gear can be imparted to the fork (10; 110). The support portion (14; 114) and the prongs (16; 116) can be integrally formed by a single sheet metal body (12) obtained by blanking and bending or formed as two separate sheet metal pieces, each obtained by blanking and bending. The support portion (14; 114) is shaped and arranged with respect to the prongs (16; 116) so as to allow two forks (10; 110) having identical bodies (12; 112) to be mounted on the same stationary rod (38, 40) so as to at least partially overlap in the sliding direction along the rod. |
