Abstract
A shifting device for a vehicle includes a rotary operating member and a base member. The rotary operating member includes a rotary shaft. The base member has a bearing surface around a bearing hole. The rotary shaft is fitted in the bearing hole, and the bearing surface receives an outer circumferential surface of the rotary shaft. A pair of flat surfaces are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rotary shaft. The pair of flat surfaces are configured such that one flat surface of the pair of flat surfaces is located between a pair of circumferential end edges of the bearing surface, within a predetermined rotating angle range of the rotary operating member.
