Abstract
A shift lever mechanism has a neutral (N) range shift lock, the shift lever mechanism configured such that when shifting from a drive (D) range to a park (P) range, rotation of a shift lever is confined to the N range, and then, when a shift condition to the P range is satisfied, the shift lever is rotated to allow shifting to the P range, thereby preventing damage to a parking mechanism due to driver error when shifting to the P range.
