ABSTRACT:
A shift lever gripped by a driver for operating the transmission of a vehicle is inserted into a hole of a lever holder. The lever holder is axially supported to the vehicle so as to transmit the operation of the shift lever to the transmission. A plurality of ribs are projected into the holes and when a heavy load acts in the axial direction of the shift lever, the shift lever moves to break the rib. Accordingly, the axial direction load of the shift lever is absorbed.
