Abstract:
A gear retaining mechanism of a transmission, comprising:a rotary shaft; a hub fixed on said rotary shaft, said hub being provided on an outer periphery thereof with a male spline, said male spline of said hub having an axially tapered portion; a clutch slider axially slidably fitted on said hub, said clutch slider being provided on an inner periphery thereof with a female spline meshing with said male spline of said hub; and a gear relatively rotatably provided on said rotary shaft, said gear being provided on an outer periphery thereof with a male spline to mesh with said female spline of said clutch slider, said male spline of said gear having an axially tapered portion, wherein said clutch slider is slid along said rotary shaft and located so that said female spline, while meshing with said male spline of said hub, meshes with said male spline of said gear so as to fix said gear to said rotary shaft through said hub, and that said female spline abuts at opposite axial ends thereof against said tapered portion of said male spline of said gear and said tapered portion of said male spline of said hub so as to retain said clutch slider between said hub and said gear.
