A range switchover apparatus is disclosed, including a detent mechanism (8) for holding in respective shift positions a range switchover means operating unit (7) capable of switching over a switchover means, which switches over a shift range, among respective shift positions, a driving force stopping unit (31,18/31,19) for preventing a driving force from the drive motor (12) from being transmitted to the range switchover means operating unit, a stoppage controlling unit (31,28) adapted to detect a position of the range switchover means operating unit to control the driving force stopping unit so as to hold the range switchover means operating unit in a predetermined shift position of the detent mechanism, an environment detecting unit (24,27) for detecting an environment of the drive motor, and a rotation controlling unit for controlling the drive motor at a predetermined rotational speed in response to a state of the environment detected by the environment detecting unit. The range switchover apparatus enables surely performing switchover of a switchover means of an automatic transmission. <IMAGE> |
