Abstract

A shift lever apparatus combines an automatic transmission mode and a manual transmission mode. An end portion of a position pin engages with a guide lever. The guide lever comprises a guide hole. When the guide lever is swingably supported by a transverse shaft and a shift lever is moved into the manual transmission mode, an upside edge of the guide hole stops and lowers the end portion of the position pin. Thus, the position pin can swing between an R range and an L range.
