ABSTRACT:
A compact shift device for shifting gears of a vehicle transmission. The shift device includes a shift lever movable in a first direction and a second direction to shift the gears of the transmission. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. A first movable member is connected to the shift lever to move in cooperation with the shift lever for detecting the position of the shift lever in the first direction. A second movable member is connected to the shift lever to move in cooperation with the shift lever for detecting the position of the shift lever in the second direction. The first and second movable members move along the same plane.
