ABSTRACT:
A shift lever device includes a shift lever having a pivot shaft formed at a base end of the shift lever integrally and a base having an opening formed to allow the shift lever to be inserted into the base and a pair of bearing parts formed so as to lie on opposing sides of the opening. The pivot shaft extends along a direction intersecting with a longitudinal direction of the shift lever. Each of the bearing parts has a bearing hole formed in the bearing part to adjoin the opening, a guide groove formed in the bearing part to communicate with the bearing hole, for introducing the pivot shaft into the bearing hole and a bearing bush which is to be inserted between the pivot shaft and the bearing hole. The bearing bush has a latch hook provided to engage with an interior of the bearing hole. The bearing bush is fitted to the bearing hole on condition that the pivot shaft is being inserting into the bearing hole through the guide groove, so that the shift lever is rotatably supported by the base through the bearing bush.
