ABSTRACT:
An operating apparatus for an automatic transmission, comprising: a shift lever which is shifted to each of a plurality of automatic shift ranges in an automatic shift mode; shift position detecting means which detects that the shift lever has been shifted to a specified automatic shift range; a manual shift mode changing switch which is provided in the vicinity of a steering wheel and which is operated for switching the automatic shift mode to a manual shift mode in which each of gear ratios in the automatic transmission can be selected manually when it is detected by the shift position detecting means that the shift lever had been shifted to the specified automatic shift range; and a shift up/down switch which is provided in the vicinity of the steering wheel independently of the manual shift mode changing switch and which is operated for selecting each of the gear ratios in the manual shift mode. Since the manual shift mode changing switch and the shift up/down switch are provided in the vicinity of the steering wheel, the switching between the automatic shift mode and the manual shift mode and the operation for switching between the gear ratios in the manual shift mode can be facilitated.
