A rotation transmitting apparatus includes a first shaft (28) on which multiple external teeth (29) are formed so as to be arranged in a circumferential direction, and a second shaft (26) in which multiple internal teeth (27) are formed so as to be arranged in the circumferential direction, the second shaft (26) being fitted to the first shaft (28) so as to be slidable relative to the first shaft (28) in the axial direction and so as to be engageable with the first shaft (28) in a rotational direction through the use of the external teeth (29) and the internal teeth (27). A protrusion (29c) is formed on the tooth flank of one of the external tooth (29) and the internal tooth (27), the protrusion being projected toward the corresponding tooth flank of the other of the external tooth (29) and the internal tooth (27). The protrusion (29c) is made of a resin that is more elastically deformable than the tooth flank.
