A transmission case 210 supports a shift shaft 222 that constitutes a part of a speed change operation mechanism 220, and which receives an operating input and transmits a speed change motion of a transmission 201. A part of a transmission holder 162M in which part the shift shaft 222 is disposed includes a shaft insertion opening portion 162g that the shift shaft 222 is disposed so as to pass through.

A reverse transmission system for a vehicle for engaging a reverse action on a normally forward action only engine transmission having a longitudinal orientation driveshaft output, the reverse transmission system comprising a gear rotatably connected to the longitudinal orientation driveshaft output of a normally forward action only engine transmission output; a shaft rotatably connected to the gear for transmitting power from the normally forward action only engine transmission output to the shaft; a chain sprocket connected to a chain drive and to the shaft for providing a transverse orientation output to the chain drive to change the direction of rotation of the driveshaft output, thereby for engaging the vehicle in the reverse action; and a reverse fork configured to actuate a reverse dog configured to slide upon the shaft to reversibly engage a reverse gear engaged to a first gear of the engine transmission.

An apparatus of an automatic transmission includes a control unit controlling engagement and release of engaging mechanisms. One of the engaging mechanisms is a mechanical engaging mechanism which can be switched to a first state and a second state in which rotation of a rotational element in both directions is restricted. In a reverse range, the mechanical engaging mechanism is set in the second state. If a shift range is switched to the reverse range when the mechanical engaging mechanism is in the first state, the control unit starts engagement corresponding to the reverse range after executing preparation processing. If the shift range is switched from the reverse range to a forward range in the preparation processing, the control unit establishes a forward gear range by controlling the engaging mechanisms according to a degree of progress of the preparation processing.

A compact clutch including a driven shaft on which the following are mounted: a gear wheel; a driving bush; a driven bush; a coil spring; a first collar with cam surfaces; and a second collar with cam surfaces. The gear wheel and the bushes are arranged axially next to each other; the gear wheel and the driving bush are constrained together in the circumferential direction; the spring surrounds externally the bushes; the first collar surrounds externally the spring; and the second collar surrounds externally the first collar. The gear wheel and the bushes are constrained to the driven shaft in the axial direction by means of two stop rings; and the driven bush is constrained to the driven shaft in the circumferential direction by means of at least one tongue.

A band brake actuator is for actuating a band brake on a planetary gearset. The band brake actuator comprises a actuator shaft; an output finger; and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly connects the actuator shaft to the output finger such that rotation of the actuator shaft in a first rotation direction causes the output finger to engage the band brake on the planetary gearset, and such that rotation of the actuator shaft in an opposite, second rotation direction causes the output finger to disengage the band brake from the planetary gearset. Engagement of the band brake and the planetary gearset shifts the planetary gearset into one of a forward and a reverse gear and wherein disengagement of the band brake and the planetary gearset shifts the planetary gearset into a neutral gear.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for operating a machine using energy stored in a compress gas are disclosed. Energy stored in the compressed gas may be used to pressurize a fluid, such as transmission fluid, and the pressurized fluid may be used to effectuate an operation of the machine, such as a transmission, and the operation of the machine may involve shifting of a transmission. The gas may be compressed with another fluid that is different from the fluid used to operate the machine, and the two fluid may be prevented from being mixed together.

An exemplary shift lever includes a mounting assembly, a flexible member coupled to the mounting assembly, and an interface coupled to the flexible member. The flexible member is resilient so as to provide a selected biasing force at a predetermined deformation angle, and flexible enough to elastically deform across a selected angular range. The mounting assembly is configured for connection with the input shaft of a transmission, and the interface is configured for connection with an output of a drive selector.
