A locking mechanism for a shift lever includes a detent member movable along a path, a stopper member movable between a locking position and an unlocking position, and a cam member. A spring member resiliently biases the stopper member toward the locking position. An electromagnetic solenoid has a coil fixed to the cam member and a core fixed to the stopper member. The electromagnetic solenoid permits relative movement between the stopper member and the cam member when the electromagnetic solenoid is unenergized and prevents relative movement between the stopper member and the cam member when the electromagnetic solenoid is energized. The cam member applies a force to the stopper member to move the stopper member toward the unlocking position in response to movement of the detent member when the electromagnetic solenoid is energized. |
