Abstract
A shift device, including: a shift body that is operated to change a shift position thereof; a biasing section that causes biasing force to act on the shift body; a retention track that, by placement of the biasing section thereon, causes the shift body to be retained at a shift position; a release track that, by movement of the biasing section thereon from the retention track, causes retention of the shift body at a shift position to be released; and a changer section that, after the biasing section has been moved from the retention track to the release track and moved along the release track, causes the biasing section to be moved from the release track onto the retention track and a shift position of the shift body to be changed by moving the biasing section at a specific occasion.
