Patent ID: 7549354

Claim:
A manual transmission comprising: a synchronizer having a coupling sleeve; a shift fork movable with the coupling sleeve; an actuator for moving the shift fork, the actuator having a stationary main body and a reciprocal output member operatively connected to the shift fork; and a detecting device for detecting a position of the shift fork; the detecting device having a magnet mounted on the output member of the actuator, and a magnetic sensor mounted on the main body of the actuator to cooperate with the magnet for detecting the position of the shift fork, wherein the output member of the actuator has a sliding section that is cylindrical and at which the sliding section is slidably mounted on the main body, the magnetic sensor being positioned radially outward of the output member, the magnet being mounted on the output member at a position opposed to the magnetic sensor, the actuator having means for preventing rotation of the output member relative to the main body.
