ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for manipulating a transmission of a vehicle, wherein speeds of transmission for the vehicle can be switched-over both automatically and manually, is provided which makes it possible to use the same switching unit for detecting whether a shift lever is positioned on a first path side at which an automatic transmission mode is executed, or on a second path side at which a manual transmission mode is executed, even if the design of the shift lever or other parts of the apparatus are changed. The apparatus includes a switching unit 5 for detecting on which side the shift lever 1 is positioned, the first path 2 side or the second path 3 side. The switching unit 5 has a first manipulating member 52 connected with a connecting portion 11 of the shift lever 1. The first manipulating member 52 is constructed so as to be a sliding bearing so that it can pivot freely around an axis O thereof.
