ABSTRACT:
A shift lever device is provided that includes a shift lever, an interlocking member movable from a first position to a second position, a detent member that abuts the interlocking member at the first position and restricts the shifting operation if the shift lever is shifted from the parking range position to another range position, a restricting member movable between a shift-lock state and a shift-lock released state for allowing or preventing the interlocking member to move from the first position to the second position; a manual operation mechanism which allows the restricting member to be manually moved from the shift-locked state to the shift-lock released state, and an actuator connecting member that moves integrally with the restricting member due to the operation of an actuator. When the restricting member is placed in a shift-locked state, it can be moved by the manual operation mechanism into the shift-lock released state. The shift lever device thus allows the release of a shift lock by a manual operation, and is operable in a compact space.
