ABSTRACT:
A shift lever device includes: a shift lever capable of selecting an arbitrary shift range among a plurality of shift ranges by a shifting operation; a T-shaped shaft whose horizontal portion is pivotally supported in such a manner as to be rotatable in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle and whose leg portion extends upward; and a connecting portion provided on an outer periphery of the leg portion so as to pivotally support the shift lever in such a manner that the shift lever is rotatable between a first position where a longitudinal direction of the shift lever is parallel with a longitudinal direction of the leg portion and a second position to which the shift lever is rotated in a transverse direction of the vehicle. Accordingly, since the shift lever is connected to the T-shaped shaft, which is stable in terms of its strength, via the connecting portion in such a manner as to be rotatable in a direction perpendicular to the rotating direction of the T-shaped shaft, the shift lever device can be applied to various shift patterns.
