ABSTRACT:
A fail-safe means is arranged in a transmission shift lever supporting structure for assuring the operative pivotal movement of the shift lever even when the pivotally supported spherical portion of the shift lever is accidentally disengaged from the bearing member in the originally set socket member of the structure. The fail-safe means comprises a stopper plate member stationarily arranged near the socket member. The stopper plate member has therethrough a stopper opening through which one end portion of the shift lever other than the spherical portion passes. The stopper opening is sized smaller than the spherical portion of the shift lever so that upon disengagement of the spherical portion from the bearing member, the spherical portion becomes engaged with the stopper plate member and is prevented from passing through the stopper opening.
