Abstract
A vehicular automatic power transmission operating device includes an operating lever, a lever case, a torque sensor, a mounting member and a power assist unit. The operating lever creates operational force to shift into a position of an automatic power transmission. The lever case accommodates a lower end portion of the operating lever therein. The torque sensor detects operational force of the operating lever. An input shaft and an output shaft of the torque sensor serve as a rotary shaft of the operating lever. The mounting member is divided into first and second members by the input shaft and the output shaft of the torque sensor. Provided in the first and second members, respectively, are first and second fixing members by which the input shaft is fixed to the mounting member, and first and second bearing portions by which the output shaft is rotatably supported to the mounting member. The power assist unit creates power assist force and adds it to operational force of the operating lever in response to output from the torque sensor.
