A shift fork position detecting device for a manual transmission is
provided. The manual transmission includes a coupling sleeve constituting
a synchronizer, a shift fork movable with the coupling sleeve and an
actuator for moving the shift fork. The actuator has a stationary main
body and a reciprocal output member operatively connected to the shift
fork. The shift fork position detecting device includes 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.
