A saddle-type vehicle that allows common use of a handle switch with a vehicle having no advancing-backing function and can suppress increase in the number of switches and the lowering of the layout efficiency of the switches. A saddle-type vehicle has a reverse mode setting input part that sets a reverse mode in which backing driving of the saddle-type vehicle is permitted and a control system that disables shift operation of a transmission by a shift-down switch and a shift-up switch and causes the saddle-type vehicle to advance through operation of the shift-down switch and to back through operation of the shift-up switch when the reverse mode is set.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle shifter assembly having a retainer ring between a housing and an instrument panel or console. The retainer ring includes a fluid diverter system configured to guide fluid away from predetermined shifter assembly component(s).

A shift arrangement for a motor vehicle transmission has a housing. At least two push rods are mounted on the housing so as to be movable in an axial direction between a neutral position and a shift position. The push rods can each be coupled to a shift clutch. At least two return rods are mounted on the housing. The return rods are each coupled to one of the push rods so that a push rod and the return rod associated therewith are moved in opposite axial directions. A shift cam of a shift member can be aligned with a push rod or with a return rod for the purpose of selecting, and can transmit a pushing force to a selected rod. A driving feature is arranged on the shift member and can transmit a pushing force in order to move an unselected rod into the neutral position.

A gear shifting device, having a first, rotatably drivable transmission component, on which a shift element is arranged in a torque-proof and axially displaceable manner, which is axially movable into at least one shift position, in which the first transmission component is coupled in a torque-proof manner with a transmission component that is arranged adjacent to it and is connectable thereon, whereas an axial shift movement of the shift element into the at least one shift position and/or from this through the interaction of one shift pin is able to be triggered with at least one associated groove-like shift gate, which is designed to be changeable in an axial direction, at least in sections. Thereby, the shift element features, on an inner diameter and/or an outer diameter, at least one associated shift gate, while the respective one shift pin is arranged in a radially displaceable manner, and the at least one shift gate is arranged in a radially opposite manner, to the transmission component adjacent to the shift element, and/or that the shift element, on an inner diameter and/or an outer diameter, accommodates the respective one shift pin in a radially displaceable manner, whereas the at least one associated shift gate for the respective shift gate is arranged to be radially opposite to a transmission component located adjacent to the shift element, and that, in each case, a shift pin is movable through an associated actuator in a radial manner between an initial position and a mesh position, in which each shift pin is able to be introduced into the at least one associated shift gate.

An electronic shifter assembly includes a shift lever and a speed sensitive damping arrangement housed within a base of the assembly. The speed sensitive damping arrangement includes a housing, a shaft coupled to the shift lever, a plurality of stacked plates and a damping substance. The stacked plates are associated with the shaft and a cavity of the housing, where at least one of the stacked plates is keyed to the shaft and at least another one of the stacked plates is keyed to the housing such that rotation of the shaft via the shift lever causes relative movement of the keyed stacked plates. The damping substance is packed into the internal cavity and about the stacked plates such that the damping arrangement provides speed sensitive damping to the shift lever proportional to a speed of movement of the shift lever.

An operator control element (1) for selecting and setting a driving mode of the vehicle, wherein a rotational element (2) on the steering wheel of the vehicle is provided with a sensing element (3) which detects the rotation of the rotational element (2) and the stationary position of the rotational element, wherein the rotation of the rotational element can be sensed by counting the rotational steps, wherein a position and sequence of the rotational steps is assigned to each selectable driving mode, with the result that the driving modes are selected by rotating the rotational element to a stationary position and by counting the rotational steps when the rotational direction is detected.

A gear position locking mechanism of a vehicle is presented. The vehicle has a gear lever unit and a gear box. The gear box is provided with a gear position sensor. The gear position locking mechanism of the vehicle includes a driving unit and a rocker arm. After receiving a target position signal sensed by the gear position sensor, the driving unit drives the rocker arm to automatically lock the gear lever unit, so that a gear lever of the gear lever unit cannot be shifted by hand. As the rocker arm is provided to prevent a gear position from being directly shifted by hand, the structural design inside the gear lever unit or the gear box does not need to be changed.

Disclosed is a utility work vehicle having an engine section at a rear portion of a vehicle body. The engine section includes an engine having an output shaft oriented laterally along a right/left direction of the vehicle body, a speed changer device having an input shaft oriented laterally along the right/left direction of the vehicle body, the speed changer device being disposed rearwardly of the engine, a belt type stepless speed changer device disposed on one right/left side of the engine and the speed changer device and configured to transmit power from the engine to the speed changer device. A clutch is disposed between the engine and the belt type stepless speed changer device. A space is formed downwardly of the clutch between the engine and the belt type stepless speed changer device. At a portion downwardly of the speed changer device and facing the space, a front wheel driving output shaft extends forwardly from the speed changer device. To the front wheel driving output shaft, a transmission shaft is connected coaxial with the front wheel driving output shaft, the transmission shaft extending through the space forwardly.
