Further, as such a gear type transmission, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 61-21451 and 6 are known.
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 1-21452 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-12807. The one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-21451 is connected to a reverse drive gear provided on a main shaft, a reverse driven gear provided on a counter shaft, and an idle gear having a two-stage gear structure for reduction, and the idle gear is connected to the idle gear. A shifter that engages and disengages the reverse driven gear and the counter shaft is provided within one of the gear widths of the gear, which allows the idle gear to have a two-stage configuration, the reduction ratio to be set to an arbitrarily large value, and the gear to have two stages. With the configuration, it is possible to reduce the distance between the shafts while increasing the reduction ratio, so that it is possible to achieve compactness, and also to provide a shifter within one gear width to bring the gear and the shifter closer to each other, and effectively use the space outside the shifter. It is possible to further reduce the size of the entire mission for shortening the axis-to-axis. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-214
In the one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 52, a common drive gear for the first speed and reverse is integrally provided on the main shaft, and the reduction ratio is close.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-12807, a reverse idler gear is used as a first reverse idler gear that constantly meshes with a reverse gear on the input shaft side and a second reverse idler gear that constantly meshes with a reverse gear on the output shaft side. The total length is shortened by splitting and providing the reverse gear synchromesh mechanism that connects and disconnects these first and second reverse idler gears, while also using this input reverse gear as the first forward gear It is intended to

[0020]

By the way, when the vehicle is a front engine front drive vehicle (FF vehicle), it is desirable that the size of the transmission in the entire length direction is short in view of installation of the engine.

However, in a conventional FF vehicle transmission, since the reverse shift mechanism including parts such as a reverse idler shaft is arranged side by side in the entire length direction of the vehicle, the dimension of the transmission in the entire length direction is long. As a result, the overall width of the vehicle is affected, and it becomes impossible to construct a 6-speed transmission within the width of the 5-speed transmission.
The reverse shift mechanism becomes complicated, and further, the processing of the transmission case becomes complicated, resulting in a high cost.

Further, due to its structure, there is a disadvantage that the installation of the reverse synchronization switching mechanism to the reverse idler gear becomes complicated.

[0023]

Transmitted to the gears,
It is transmitted to the final driven gear via the reverse idler shaft and the reverse final gear. By the way, in this transmission, there is no reverse gear in the main shaft and the counter shaft, which allows the size of the transmission in the entire length direction to be shortened. Further, since the transmission has a margin in the entire length direction, the structure of the 6-speed transmission can be realized within the width of the conventional 5-speed transmission, the reverse shift mechanism is simplified, and the transmission case is further processed. Etc. can be simplified and made cheaper.

Secondly, during the reverse operation, the driving force of the internal combustion engine is transmitted from the main lowest speed gear of the main shaft to the counter lowest speed gear of the counter shaft, then to the reverse idler gear, and further to the reverse. It is transmitted to the final driven gear via the idler shaft and the reverse final gear. By the way, in this transmission, the main shaft and the counter shaft do not have reverse gears, and thus the size of the transmission in the entire length direction can be shortened. Further, since the transmission has a margin in the entire length direction, the structure of the 6-speed transmission can be realized within the width of the conventional 5-speed transmission, the reverse shift mechanism is simplified, and the transmission case is further processed. Etc. can be simplified and the price can be reduced, and moreover, the reverse synchronous switching mechanism can be easily attached to the reverse idler gear.
