Abstract: A shift lever device which includes: a shift lever turnably fitted on a stationary member; an engaging member for engagement of the shift lever with the stationary member; and a knob fitted on the shift lever. The engaging member is moved toward its distal end to disengage from the stationary member. The knob includes a knob body provided with a fitting hole into which the shift lever is inserted together with a first engaging part of the engaging member, a button pivoted on the knob body, and a link lever connected to the button, having a second engaging part for engagement with the first engaging part. When the shift lever is inserted into the fitting hole and the distal end thereof reaches a predetermined position therein, the button is operated to have the second engaging part engaged with the first engaging part.

Abstract: A transmission selector assembly for a vehicle having an automatic transmission settable to gear ranges of low-speed ranges, a high-speed range and a higher-speed range. The transmission selector assembly includes: a selector lever which is shiftable between forward-gear positions of, at least, a high-speed position where the transmission is allowed to be set to the high-speed range or the higher-speed range, and a low-speed position where the transmission is allowed to be set to the low-speed range; and a gearshift switch for switching the gear ranges between the high-speed range and the higher-speed range while the selector lever remains in the high-speed position, and between gear ranges other than the high-speed range and the higher-speed range while the selector lever remains in the forward-gear positions other than the high-speed position.
