Abstract
A shift lever apparatus of an automatic transmission with M/T mode includes a shift lever supported to a supporting shaft so that the shift lever is swingable in a right and left direction and a front and rear direction of a vehicle. A cable link lever connected to the automatic transmission is rotatably supported to the supporting shaft. A mechanism is installed between the shift lever and the cable link lever to swing the cable link lever on the center axis of the supporting shaft according to the right and left directional swing of the shift lever. This shift lever apparatus enables the shift lever to be moved from D position of the A/T mode to M/T mode without one setting at second gear position in M/T mode.
