ABSTRACT:
A shift lever device for an automotive automatic transmission is arranged so that a manual gear shift mode can be selected in addition to the a normal automatic gear shift mode. The shift lever device comprises a base bracket fixed on a vehicle body, a shift lever supported to the base bracket and a selector lever interconnected with an automatic transmission. The base bracket has an automatic mode shift slot, a manual mode shift slot parallel to the automatic mode shift slot and a switching slot connecting the automatic mode shift slot and the manual mode shift slot. The shift lever is extended over said base bracket so as to be moved through the automatic mode shift slot, the manual mode shift slot and the switching slot. The selector lever is integrally swung with the shift lever when the shift lever is put in the automatic mode shift slot. The selector lever is released from the shift lever when the shift lever is put in the manual mode shift slot to electrically execute a up-shift and down-shift through a fore-and-aft direction swing of the shift lever.
