ABSTRACT:
An automatic transmission operating device for changing an operating range of an automatic transmission mounted on an automotive vehicle. The automatic transmission operating device comprises a pair of bearing sections which are located separate from each other and fixedly connected to a base fixed to a vehicle floor. Each bearing section includes a generally cylindrical portion having a generally C-shaped cross-section so as to define a cutout groove. A base member for a shift lever is provided including a shaft section which is formed at its opposite ends with a pair of end projections. The end projections are rotatably disposed respectively inside the cylindrical portions of the bearing sections. Each end projection is generally oval-shape in cross-section so as to form two opposite end faces and two opposite side faces. The end faces are in sliding contact with the inner surface of the cylindrical portion of the bearing section. The distance between the two opposite end faces is larger than the width of the cutout groove, so that the end projection can be prevented from dropping off through the cutout groove after being fitted inside the cylindrical portion of the bearing section.
