ABSTRACT:
A shift lever support structure for an automatic transmission includes a T-shaped shift lever having a transverse boss, and a U-sectioned lever mount having first and second bearing holes defined in opposite side walls thereof for rotatably supporting first and second opposite ends of the transverse boss. The first bearing hole is elongated so as to have opposite straight side edges and opposite round ends continued with each other through the straight side edges, said round ends being spaced a distance sufficient to facilitate mounting of the transverse boss on the lever mount. A first stopper is disposed in the lever mount for restricting a radial displacement of the first end of the transverse boss within the first bearing hole which would result from the first bearing hole oversized relative to the diameter of the transverse boss. Second and third stoppers of a similar structure are also disposed in the lever mount on respective sides of the gear shift lever for restricting an axial displacement of the transverse boss in cooperation with the gear shift lever.
