An interlocking device for a transmission is provided, where the transmission includes a pivotable first shift fork for selectively engaging a first gear and a slidable second shift fork for selectively engaging a second gear. The interlocking device includes a pivot arm pivotable between a first position and a second position, and having a first end and a second end. The first end includes a first interacting portion that interacts with a first locking member of the first shift fork. The second end includes a second interacting portion that interacts with a second locking member of the second shift fork. In the first position, pivoting movement of the first shift fork is prevented and relative sliding movement of the second shift fork is allowed, and in the second position, relative pivoting movement of the first shift fork is allowed and relative sliding movement of the second shift fork may be prevented.
