ABSTRACT:
An automatic transmission shifter assembly for automotive vehicles includes a shift lever, a gate plate formed with a gate passage, and a slide block having an engagement recess to be engaged with the shift lever, wherein the slide block is adapted to be moved frontwardly and rearwardly in response to the manipulation of the shift lever. The shifter assembly is provided with a noise-reducing member made of a flexible material, and attached onto the shift lever to extend from a region allowing the noise-reduction member to be brought into contact with the gate passage to a region allowing the noise-reduction member to be engaged with the engagement recess. The shifter assembly can effectively suppress hitting noises.
