Abstract
To reduce the longitudinal dimension of a multirange shift lever device for an automatic transmission, a guide plate is formed with a shift lever guide slot extending in both longitudinal and lateral directions of the vehicle, the shift lever pivotal motion in the longitudinal direction is directly transmitted via a pivotal motion transmitting mechanism (e.g. shaft) linked with the shift lever and that in the lateral direction is converted into the longitudinal direction pivotal motion by a pivotal motion converting mechanism (e.g. cam groove) linked with the shift lever.
