1. A shift device, comprising:
a first member axially movably supported on a shaft, the first member comprising a coupling portion for coupling with a coupling mechanism which is in communication with an actuator of a shifting system;
a second member axially movably supported on the shaft, and
an elastic member arranged on the shaft and elastically compressible in an axial direction of the shaft, wherein
the second member is engaged with the first member such that an axial movement of the first member is transmitted to the second member and vice versa via the elastic member,
the elastic member, by being compressed, allows relative axial movement in both a first axial direction and an opposite second axial direction between the first member and the second member so that one of the first member and the second member is displaced from an initial position relative to the other of the first member and the second member, and
the elastic member, in a compressed state, exerts an urging force on the first member and the second member urging the one of the first member and the second member towards the initial position relative to the other of the first member and the second member;
wherein the shift device further comprises two inner sleeves axially movably supported on the shaft,
the first member comprises an outer sleeve disposed radially outwardly of the inner sleeves,
the outer sleeve is axially movably supported on the shaft via the inner sleeves,
the inner sleeves are axially movable with respect to the outer sleeve, and
the elastic member is arranged axially between the two inner sleeves.
