A transmission that suppresses a tilt of a slider in an axial direction and reduces a dimension of the slider in the axial direction for downsizing is provided. A transmission includes a fifth-speed driven gear disposed on a counter shaft, a fifth-speed driving gear that always meshes with the fifth-speed driven gear and disposed on a main shaft, and a first slider disposed on the counter shaft to be movable in the axial direction in accordance with a shift operation.

The fifth-speed driven gear includes a fifth-speed driven gear protrusion only on a location closer to a radially outer peripheral end thereof than the counter shaft. The fifth-speed driven gear protrusion protrudes in the axial direction so as to contact the first slider when the first slider falls in the axial direction.
