Patent ID: 6889573

Claim:
A shift actuator for a transmission, said shift actuator comprising: a shift lever support mechanism for mounting a shift lever of the transmission, an operation lever having an intermediate portion coupled to said shift lever support mechanism, a first electromagnetic solenoid having an operation rod pivotally coupled to one end of said operation lever and operable in an upward direction, to push said one end of said operation lever upward, causing pivoting of said shift lever support member in a first angular direction, and operable in a downward direction, to pull said one end of said operation lever downward, causing pivoting of said shift lever support member in a second angular direction, opposite the first angular direction, and a second electromagnetic solenoid having an operation rod pivotally coupled to the other end of said operation lever and operable in an upward direction, to push said other end of said operation lever upward, causing pivoting of said shift lever in the second angular direction, and operable in a downward direction, to pull said other end of said operation lever downward, causing pivoting of said shift lever support member in the first angular direction.
