A control mechanism for a transmission apparatus for a four-wheel drive motor vehicle comprising an auxiliary change-speed transmission adapted to transmit power from the engine to a main transmission, a final reduction device for transmitting the output of the main transmission to the front axle and to the rear axle, a clutch connected to the final reduction device for transmitting the output of the main transmission for selectively connecting or disconnecting transmission of the output to one of the axles. An operation rod is longitudinally and slidably provided for swinging first and second guide plates. Each guide plate has a guide groove with which a part of a fork engages. By operating the operation rod, first and second guide plates are swung to cause the forks to shift with engagement with the guide grooves. The guide grooves are so arranged as to establish two-wheel high speed range driving, four-wheel high speed range driving and four-wheel low speed range driving. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to FIG.
1 showing a change-speed transmissions of four-wheel drive vehicle, an engine 1 is transversely mounted on a vehicle at a rear portion thereof.
The change-speed transmissions comprise a main change-speed transmission 4 and an auxiliary change-speed transmission 9.
A final reduction device 5 for rear wheels in disposed on the front side of the main change-speed transmission 4 and a transfer device 6 is further disposed on the front side of the final reduction device 5.
The auxiliary change-speed transmission 9 comprises a driving shaft 8 operatively connected to a crankshaft 2 of the engine 1 by means of a conventional clutch device 3 for engagement or disengagement thereof, a low drive gear 16 rotatably mounted on the driving shaft 8, a low driven gear 17 formed on an input shaft 10 of the main change-speed transmission 4, a synchromesh mechanism 18 having a sleeve 19, and a counter gear 20 rotatably mounted on an output shaft 11 of the main change-speed transmission 4.
The main change-speed transmission 4 has four transmission ratios and comprises input shaft 10 provided with a plurality of drive gears 12, an output shaft 11, a plurality of driven gears 13 rotatably mounted on the output shaft 11 and engaged with the drive gears 12 respectively, two synchromesh mechanisms 14 mounted on the output shaft 11 for securing each driven gear 13 with the output shaft 11, and an output gear 15 secured to the output shaft 11.
The synchromesh mechanism 18 in the auxiliary change-speed transmission 9 acts as a clutch for selectively engaging the driving shaft 8 with the input shaft 10 directly or by means of a reduction gear train comprising the gears 16, 20 and 17.
When the sleeve 19 of the synchromesh mechanism 18 is moved leftwards by manual operation, the driving shaft 8 is coupled with the low drive gear 16 through the synchromesh mechanism 18, so that power on the input shaft 8 is transmitted to the input shaft 10 by means of the gears 16, 20, 17 at a reduction ratio
