Abstract: A shift lever assembly (10) including a base member (14) and a shift lever (12). The shift lever (12) is pivotally mounted to the base member (14) and includes first and second shift lever shifting paths (18,20). The shift lever (12) is movable by an operator along a changeover path between the first and second shifting paths (18,20). The shift lever (12) is also movable by an operator along the first shifting path (18) from an initial position to at least one further position relative to the base member (14). An actuator (26) is pivotally mounted to the base member (14). The actuator (26) is configured for movement along the first shifting path (18) between the initial position and the at least one further position.
