ABSTRACT:
A shift control device for a transmission mechanism for a motor vehicle having a shift control lever2provided in the vicinity of a steering wheel1for column shifting, a steering shaft16movable in response to the operation of the steering wheel1, and a shift shaft22rotatable when the shift control lever2is operated in a first direction d2and axially movable when the shift control lever2is operated in a second direction which is different from the first direction, wherein an axial direction S2of the shift shaft22is different from an axial direction S1of the steering shaft16. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a transmission mechanism shift control device for preventing the occurrence of a gear shift that the driver does not intend and improving further the operability thereof.
