A drive device for vehicles includes a transmission device including a transmission mechanism that changes a speed of inputted rotation of a drive source of a vehicle and outputs the rotation and that is provided on an axis of rotation orthogonal to a front-rear direction of the vehicle; and a casing that holds the transmission mechanism; and a control device that performs electronic control of the transmission device, at least a part of the control device being installed on an outside of the casing, and the control device is installed at either one of a front side portion and a rear side portion of the casing in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

An actuator for the actuation of at least one movable member of a motor vehicle transmission. The actuator includes a housing, at least one electric motor having a stator and a rotor mounted on a rotor shaft extending along an axis X1, a motor pinion fixed to the opposite end of the shaft from the rotor, a circuit board for supplying power to the stator and controlling the electric motor, and a reduction mechanism driven by the motor pinion. The housing defines a first volume in which the electric motor and the circuit board are received. The circuit board is located axially along the axis X1 between the electric motor and the motor pinion. The actuator further includes a cover defining a second volume in which the reduction mechanism is received, the housing and the cover each have guides for guiding the reduction mechanism.

A shift mechanism having a biasing member that operatively connects a detent linkage to a linkage. The biasing member permits an actuator shaft of an actuator and the detent linkage to rotate about an actuator axis with respect to the linkage when a shift collar is inhibited from moving along the axis.

A transmission includes an input shaft that couples to a prime mover, twin countershafts and a main shaft having gears coupled thereon, an output shaft that selectively provides a torque output to a driveline, a first shift actuator that selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft. The transmission includes a second shift actuator that couples the main shaft to the output shaft with a selected reduction ratio, and a controller including a vehicle state circuit that interprets at least one vehicle operating condition, and a neutral enforcement circuit that provides a first neutral command to the first shift actuator and a second neutral command to the second shift actuator, in response to the at least one vehicle operating condition indicating that vehicle motion is not intended.

A shift actuator includes a motor that drives a drum assembly having a disconnect track and a range track. Operation of the motor rotates the drum assembly about a rotational axis. A fork rod is positioned parallel with the rotational axis. A disconnect fork is slidably coupled with the disconnect track and the fork rod. A range fork is slidably coupled with the range track and the fork rod. The disconnect track and the range track define a plurality of actuating positions of the disconnect fork and the range fork. The plurality of actuating positions are defined by corresponding flat portions of the disconnect track and the range track that maintain a position of the disconnect fork and the range fork, respectively, relative to the fork rod.

The present invention relates to a device for blocking a transmission comprising an actuation mechanism, which is arranged inside the transmission in an at least partially oil-filled transmission chamber, and a drive of the actuation mechanism, wherein the drive is arranged outside of the at least partially oil-filled transmission chamber.

A parking lock in a vehicle transmission includes a locking mechanism for locking and releasing a parking interlock gear (1) and an actuating unit. The actuating unit is coupled via a coupling mechanism to the locking mechanism in order to actuate the locking mechanism between an interlock position and a release position of the parking interlock gear (1). The parking lock is arranged on an intermediate plate (2) in a housing of the vehicle transmission.

The present invention relates to an improved go-kart vehicle that has shifter functionality using a dash-mounted shifter control. The go-kart is configured as a rear-wheel drive go-kart for adults, and features a front mounted engine covered by a hood, headlights for illumination, front steering wheel mounted brakes for controlling front wheels, an emergency brake handle for use during drifting and sliding, a dash mounted up-shifter/down-shifter and a removable roll cage. A seat is disposed for a driver to sit with lumbar supports to keep the driver centered. A chain drives a sprocket of a rear axle, and the engine drives the rear axle for driving the go-kart in a smooth manner. The shifter control is used for providing an increased amount of power to the vehicle to generate speed.

A bushing assembly is configured for a vehicle transmission shift shaft, the shift shaft having a first diameter, a shift lever fixedly mounted to an end thereof, and a step defining a second diameter smaller than the first diameter along a length thereof. The bushing assembly includes a seal, a spacer, such as a spacer sleeve, and a bushing. The seal is positioned on the shaft abutting the shift lever, the spacer is positioned on the shaft abutting the seal, and the bushing is positioned over the spacer. A kit for replacement of an OE bushing and a method to replace a bushing are also disclosed.

An electric actuator includes a motor portion, a circuit board, a speed reduction mechanism, a busbar holder that holds a busbar, and a housing. The housing has a motor case and a compartmental wall. The compartmental wall has a through-hole which penetrates the compartmental wall in an axial direction. The busbar holder has a base portion and a projecting portion which projects from the base portion in the axial direction and is disposed in the through-hole. An end portion of the busbar at one side projects from the busbar holder toward one side in the axial direction and is connected to the circuit board, and an end portion of the busbar at the other side projects into the through-hole from a side surface of the projecting portion of the busbar holder and is connected to a coil of a stator.
