The present invention discloses an overrunning transmission device convenient for switching. The transmission device comprises a transmission gear and a transmission shaft (102) which is arranged to penetrate a shaft hole of the transmission gear, wherein at least one clamping groove (105) is formed at an edge of the shaft hole of the transmission gear; a chamber is formed in transmission shaft (102) which extends in the axial direction of the transmission shaft (102), and a clamping plate (104) is provided in the chamber; and an end of the clamping plate (104) can move in the chamber back and forth along the radial direction of the transmission gear so that the end of the clamping plate (104) can be inserted into or removed from the clamping groove (105), thereby the transmission shaft (102) and the transmission gear can be engaged and separated with each other. The overrunning transmission device convenient for switching can make the switching smooth and save energy effectively.

A transmission system includes planetary gearing with a ring gear, a plurality of planet gears, a carrier, and a sun gear, a forward clutch operatively connected between the ring gear and carrier, a reverse brake operatively connected between the carrier and a rotationally fixed location, and a control subsystem to switch the transmission system between forward and reverse operational modes in the which the ring gear and the sun gear rotate in the same or opposite rotational directions, respectively. A control subsystem actuation stroke can actuate both the forward clutch and the reverse brake based on a common control signal.

A cam device having a drive cam and a driven cam; and a friction engagement device having at least one friction plate and at least one separation plate are provided. The friction engagement device is configured so as to be put into a connected state by pressing the friction plate and the separation plate against each other by the driven cam, and a disconnected state. Also provided are a rotation transmission state switching device having a first member and a second member coaxially arranged, and a mode selecting part configured to rotate or displace in the axial direction according to rotation of the drive cam. The rotation transmission state switching device has at least one mode of a free mode and a lock mode of the first member and the second member, and a one-way clutch mode.

The automatic transmission which includes a third brake element formed by a support member including a first cylindrical portion having a first sliding surface at an outer peripheral surface thereof, a second cylindrical portion having a second sliding surface at an inner peripheral surface thereof and a third cylindrical portion having a third sliding surface at an inner peripheral surface thereof, an inner side piston, inner edge portion of which is in contact with the first sliding surface and an outer edge portion of which is in contact with the second sliding surface and an outer side piston which includes a first piston cylindrical portion, outer edge of which is in contact with the second sliding surface over an entire periphery thereof and a second piston cylindrical portion, outer edge portion of which is in contact with the third sliding surface over an entire periphery thereof.

A power unit having a crankcase and peripheral devices wherein a driving source for a gear shifting device is disposed so as to be displaced below the crankcase. An engine includes a gear speed change mechanism having a plurality of gear pairs for changing the speed of a rotational force of a crankshaft. A gear shifting device includes at least a plate-shaped shift arm rocking about a shift spindle to perform a gear pair changing operation on the gear speed change mechanism. A crankcase houses the gear speed change mechanism and the gear shifting device with an oil pan attached to a lower portion of the crankcase. A communicating hole communicating with the oil pan is formed in a bottom portion of the crankcase with the bottom portion being located below the shift arm, and a rocking range of the shift arm partly overlaps the communicating hole.
