Disclosed is a column-type shift lever structure for an automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode, which permits a diver to manually shift a gear at his convenience, thus providing more dynamic driving feel and improving performance and convenience of the vehicle. This column-type shift lever structure comprises an upper plate which is rotated by a shift lever, a lower plate having locking jaws which perform catching and releasing actions when the shift lever is pivoted, and a cable actuating lever which is pivoted by a ball joint to actuate a T/M control cable. The shift lever can be rotated to a predetermined manual shifting mode set up by the lower plate. A select switch is provided for transmitting a signal causing the transmission to be converted from a driving mode to a manual shifting mode or vice versa to a TCU. Also, a switch part is provided for sensing the pivoting operations of the shift lever as shifting signals, respectively and to transmit the signals to the TCU. <IMAGE> |
