Abstract

A shift lever apparatus is normally hidden, and provides traveling sensitivity according to a driver's preference when deployed for a specific mode. The shift lever apparatus includes a shift lever that is deployed or undeployed in a housing according to a rotating location; an operating mechanism installed on the shift lever to be rotated together with the shift lever, and provided with a stopper drawn out or drawn into the operating mechanism depending on whether an operation is performed; a guide installed in the housing to guide movement of the stopper and having a first fixing hole and a second fixing hole spaced apart from each other within a rotating radius of the stopper; and a sensing sensor sensing the rotating location of the shift lever when the stopper is located in the second fixing hole to transfer a shift signal according to the rotating location.
