Abstract
A gate-type shift lever device having a stopper which is disposed so as to prevent the movement of a shift lever positioned in one of the P shift range and N shift range and which, in this case, prevents the movement of the shift lever positioned in the P shift range to other shift ranges than the P shift range, and the movement of the shift lever positioned in the N shift range to the R shift range. This makes it possible to reliably set a shift lever in a shift lock state under a specific condition without effecting a pushing operation of a shift lever knob and by a simple structure.
