Abstract
Disclosed herein is a shift mechanism in a manual transmission having a detent mechanism which comprises a cylindrical holder provided with an opening at its one end, a detent ball accommodated in the holder at the opening and adapted to contact with one of detent grooves, and a compression spring accommodated in the holder and adapted to bias the detent ball against one of the detent grooves. The opening of the holder is inwardly bent at its circumferential edge to form a ball retaining portion for projecting a part of the detent ball therefrom and retaining the detent ball so as not to come out from the opening.
