The invention provides a transmission of a vehicle which can smoothly execute shift-up and shift-down operations. The transmission is provided with change gears, a shift member, a change drum, a change shaft rotationally operated at a predetermined angle by a rider, and a change operation force transmitting mechanism transmitting the rotation of the change shaft to the change drum. The change operation force transmitting mechanism includes a driven body integrally rotating with the change drum and having a concave portion in an inner peripheral surface, a pole holder arranged in an inner side of the driven body and rotationally reciprocating on the basis of a rotational reciprocation of the change shaft, a pole held to the pole holder, and being displaceable around a supporting point between an engaged state in which a leading end is engaged with the concave portion and a non-engaged state in which a leading end is away from the concave portion toward an inner side in a diametrical direction of the pole holder, an energizing means for energizing the pole to the engaged state, and a limiting means for limiting in such a manner that the supporting point of the pole is not displaced with respect to the pole holder.

What is claimed is: 1. A transmission of a vehicle comprising: a plurality of change gears supported by a plurality of gear support shafts, the plurality of gear support shafts having an axial direction; a shift member configured to change an engaged state of the change gears by moving in the axial direction of the gear support shafts; a change drum having a cam groove configured to engage the shift member in an outer peripheral surface thereof and move the shift member in the axial direction of the gear support shafts by rotating at a predetermined angle; a change shaft configured to be rotationally operated at a predetermined angle by a rider; and a change operation force transmitting mechanism configured to transmit the rotation of the change shaft to the change drum, wherein the change operation force transmitting mechanism includes: a driven body configured to integrally rotate with the change drum and having an inner side and a concave portion in an inner peripheral surface thereof; a pole holder arranged in the inner side of the driven body and configured to rotationally reciprocate on the basis of the rotational operation of the change shaft; a pole having a supporting point, being held to the pole holder, and being displaceable around the supporting point between an engaged state in which a leading end of the pole is engaged with the concave portion and a disengaged state in which the leading end is disengaged from the concave portion toward an inner side in a radial direction of the pole holder; an energizing device configured to push the pole to the engaged state; and a limiting device configured to limit displacement of the pole around the supporting point of the pole with respect to the pole holder, wherein the pole has a cross sectional shape, and a base with a cross sectional shape and the cross sectional shape of the base end of the pole is formed in a partially circular shape, a portion of the pole engaged with the concave portion is formed in a semicircular shape, and the base end is rotatable around the supporting point of the pole; and wherein the cross sectional shape of the pole in an axial direction of the pole holder is identical over an entire width of the pole holder and a back surface of the pole with which a push rod is brought into contact is formed in a concaved circular arc shape when viewed from a side of the pole. 2. The transmission of the vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the limiting device is a pair of engagement portions which are formed respectively in the pole and the pole holder and are engaged with each other. 3. The transmission of the vehicle as claimed in claim 2, wherein one of the pair of engagement portions is a concave engagement portion and the other of the pair of engagement portions is a convex engagement portion. 4. The transmission of the vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the limiting means is constituted by a support hole provided in one of the pole and the pole holder, and a pole support shaft provided in the other and fitted to the support hole.
