Shift fork in a transmission for an automobile including pawl members with stepped outer portions

摘要

Disclosed herein is a shift fork in a transmission for an automobile having a fork body made of steel plate and a pawl member made of resin fixed to the free ends of the fork body and adapted to engage an annular groove defined on the outer circumference of a hub sleeve included in a clutch mechanism for the transmission. The pawl member has a stepped portion formed at the opposed portion to the outer peripheral edge of the annular groove so as not to abut against the outer peripheral edge during a shift operation.
