ABSTRACT:
A mounting construction ensures to fix a shift knob to a lever shaft easily and promptly with a single assembly operation. The lever shaft 1 is formed with a circumferential groove 1a therein and has a rotation-prohibiting projection 1g thereon. A support body 2 is formed with first fastening clicks 2d and 2d and second fastening clicks 2e and 2e, which first and second clicks project on an upper end portion thereof. The support 2 is formed with a rotation preventing groove 2f at a lower end portion thereof, which groove 2f engages the rotation preventing projection 1g. The lever shaft 1 is inserted into the support body 2 so that the fastening clicks 2d and 2d of the support body 2 engage the circumferential groove 1a in the lever shaft 1 to securely fix to the lever shaft 1. The shift knob 3 is provided with a blind hole 3b and horizontally extending engagement holes 3c at a lower portion of the shift knob 3. Simply pushing the shift knob 3 into the lever shaft 1 causes the first fastening clicks 2d and 2d to engage the engagement holes 3c with a single assembly operation.
