Because a shift lever deviceuses attracting force of a fixed iron coreA,A of a magnetor an electromagnetin switching between a lock state and an unlock state at a shift lock mechanismand a key interlock mechanism, the mechanisms can be made compact. When a shift leveris changed from a 'D' shift position to a '4' shift position and when the shift leveris changed from a &#x201c;2&#x201d; shift position to an &#x201c;L&#x201d; shift position, a linkis rotated in a same direction. Thus, a sliding direction of a sliderwhich detects a rotational position of the linkis only one, and a placement size of a detecting membercan be made small and the device can be made compact. Because the shift lock unitis equipped integrally with shift lock mechanism, and the link, the sliderand the detecting memberof a sensing mechanism, the shift lock unitcan be made compact.
