Abstract
In a shift lever device (), due to a tilt shaft () being nipped between peripheral surfaces of lower supporting holes () of a shift lever plate () and peripheral surfaces of upper supporting holes (A) of a shift lever guide (), a shift lever () is supported so as to be able to tilt around the tilt shaft (). A shift position of the shift lever () is changed due to the shift lever () being tiltingly operated while being guided by a guide hole () of the shift lever guide () and passed within a passage hole () of a cover (). Here, the strength of the shift lever guide () is made to be large as compared with that of the cover (). Moreover, when load is inputted from the shift lever () to the shift lever guide (), rotation of the shift lever guide () is stopped by the shift lever plate (). Therefore, the shift lever () can be tiltably supported properly.
