ABSTRACT:
A shifting apparatus for an automatic transmission mounted on a steering column (10), comprises: a shift lever (30) shifted from a park position to drive positions formed in a shift plate (61); a selector member (50) formed with a detent portion (51) selectively engaged with one of shift positions of the shift plate when the lever (30) is shifted; a shift lever lock mechanism having: a shift lock member (90) for locking the selector member (50);a switch (70) turned on by the selector member (50) when the shift lever is set to the park position; an actuator (80) energized when the switch (70) is turned on to move the shift lock member (90) to a shift lock position; and an actuation member (100) associated with the selector member (50) and the shift lock member (90) between the shift lock position and a shift unlock position; and a key lock mechanism (200) for locking and unlocking the actuation member (100) via a key lock cable (105). When the engine is started, the actuation member 100 is unlocked from the key lock mechanism (200) and when a brake pedal is further depressed, the lock member (90) is unlocked by the actuator (80), so that the shift lever can be shifted. The shifting apparatus is small in size, low in cost, easy to operate, and stable in operation.
