In a select system (14) for an automatic transmission in which switchover between a mechanical automatic mode and an electrical manual mode is achieved by a lateral shift of a select lever (15), the select lever has an engaging protrusion (67) extending a distance to one side, which remains inserted in an engaging groove (68) opened in a rotatable linkage member (18). When the select lever (15) is in the automatic mode, the linkage member (18) is rotatable with the lever operation by engagement between the engaging protrusion and a part (78) of the engaging groove so as to achieve mechanical transmission control of the automatic transmission. When the select lever (15) is in the manual mode, the engaging protrusion, while disengaging from the part (78) of the engaging groove, restricts rotation of the linkage member (18) so as to prevent the mechanical transmission control. Thus, the select system can prevent an accidental release of the select lever from a gear position or an unexpected shift change of the automatic transmission, whether it is in the A/T mode or manual mode. |
