Abstract
In a shift lever device, even when a magnet is immovably installed, the shift lever device can shift a shift lever between blocking and allowing operation from a 'P' shift position to an 'R' shift position because a first link and a yoke plate are slidable, a second link is rotatable with respect to the first link, and the magnet switches between attraction and non-attraction with respect to the yoke plate. For this reason, the magnet can be immovably installed.
