Abstract

A transmission includes a primary gear including primary teeth, each having a primary surface; a secondary gear including secondary teeth; an intermediate gear including intermediate teeth, each comprising a primary intermediate part having a primary intermediate surface and a secondary intermediate part having a secondary intermediate surface, where the primary intermediate part is axially offset from the secondary intermediate part. The intermediate gear is axially displaceable to an engaged position. The primary surface contacts the primary intermediate surface in a contact region and the secondary intermediate surface contacts one of the secondary teeth. In the engaged position, one primary tooth and one intermediate tooth form an overlap, radially inside the contact region, for preventing the intermediate gear from being displaced from the engaged position to a disengaged position.
