ABSTRACT:
A shift lever structure (E) for operating an automatic transmission of a vehicle, includes a frame (10) fixed to a floor of the vehicle, a shaft (20,21,22) rotatably supported by the frame, a shift lever (30) and a select lever (40) connected with the automatic transmission. Both the shift lever and the select lever are molded integrally with the shaft by the insert-molding technique. In the arrangement, the lower end portion of the shift lever is engaged with the upper end portion of the select lever at an L-shaped bend (41). In operation, a force applied on the shift lever can be transmitted to the select lever directly, thereby reducing any twisting movement applied to the shaft. Therefore, it is possible to improve the strength of both levers and to decrease the strength required for the shaft.
