A shift/tilt locking apparatus for shift lever of automatic transmission may include a shift knob, a main shaft slidably and rotatably disposed in a housing such that shift knob is slidable; a crossbar having shift knob at the upper end to tilt; a shift restriction device that allows shift knob to slide by selectively restricting sliding of main shaft; and a tilting restriction device controlling shift knob to tilt by selectively restricting the tilting of shift knob by using a third solenoid, which is controlled by a shift mode determining step that determines a shift mode by checking the position of shift knob and a lever locking step that restricts/releases shift knob by selectively operating first solenoid to third solenoid.

Shift/tilt locking apparatus and method for shift lever of automatic transmission

A shifting apparatus capable of selecting any one of plural shift ranges according to a driver's manipulation intention and allowing the driver to additionally express his/her consecutive manipulation intention in a specific shift range may include: a main shaft, a shifting lever installed to slide in a straight line and pivot along the main shaft, and a gate plate limiting a reciprocation path of the shifting lever such that the shifting lever reciprocates on a single path while sliding in a straight line and pivoting along the main shaft. The gate plate may include a gate pattern having a plurality of shift ranges arranged in a line on the reciprocation path and formed in such a manner that a specific shift range among the plurality of shift ranges is discriminated from the other shift ranges.
