Abstract
A strength of an outer side portion in a second direction of a shift body is increased. In a shift device, when a lever is placed in an ‘M’ position, a right avoidance hole of the lever avoids interference with a right restricting portion, rotational movement of a left restricting surface of the lever is restricted by a left restricting portion, and an operation to rotationally move the lever towards the right side is restricted. Furthermore, when the lever is placed in a ‘D’ position, a left avoidance hole of the lever avoids interference with the left restricting portion, rotational movement of a right restricting surface of the lever is restricted by the right restricting portion, and an operation to rotationally move the lever towards the left side is restricted. The right avoidance hole and the left avoidance hole can be made smaller, so that the strength of both outer side portions in a lateral directions of the lever can be increased.
