Abstract
An apparatus for locking a shift lever associated with an automobile automatic transmission in the parking range is provided. A locking member prevents any movement of the shift lever from the parking range to another range except when the brake pedal is stepped down. A pivotal movement of the brake pedal is transmitted to the locking member through a cam rotatably mounted on the brake pedal, a cam follower, and a cable.
