ABSTRACT:
A shift lever assembly for an automatic transmission, in which a lever knob on top of a lever shaft is formed integral with the lever body and has a width which is smaller than the width of an opening formed in a shift position indication panel. The assembly includes a lever support for pivotally supporting the shift lever body and components such as a shift lock release actuator. This assembly can be secured to a vehicle body. The shift position indication panel is mounted by passing the lever knob through the panel opening. A slide cover and the shift position indicator panel are arcuate in shape with the center thereof constituted by the pivoting center of the lever body. The slide cover is made integral with the lever body. The slide cover has a detent groove formed in its back surface. A shift position indicator support is formed on one side of the slide cover. The shift lock release actuator is provided in the turning plane of the lever body, thus simplifying a lock release mechanism.
