Abstract
A shift device in which a press-fit column of a control lever is press-fitted into and passed through a press-fit hole in a boot such that the boot forms a seal between the upper side and the lower side of the press-fit hole. A press-fit interference amount between the press-fit column and the press-fit hole is larger at a length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole than at a length direction end portion side of the press-fit hole. This enables a reduction in the contact force between the press-fit column and a peripheral face of the press-fit hole at the length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole to be suppressed, enabling the sealing performance of the press-fit hole in the boot to be improved.
