摘要

A vehicle automatic transmission selector apparatus which can suppress increased teeth backlash of a gear arrangement of a lever bracket and a select-link to improve operability of the selector lever has brackets ( 1 a) and ( 1 b) to be secured on a body of a vehicle. A selector lever ( 2 ) is pivotally supported on the brackets ( 1 a) and ( 1 b). A lever bracket ( 3 ) is arranged at a base end of the selector lever ( 2 ) and formed with sector gear teeth ( 3 a). A selector-link ( 4 ), for actuating a transmission via a wire (W) interposed between the selector-link ( 4 ) and the transmission, is formed with sector gear teeth ( 4 a). The teeth 4 a mate with the sector gear teeth ( 3 a) of the lever bracket ( 3 ). The selector-link ( 4 ) is rotated by the pivotal motion of the selector lever ( 2 ). An urging mechanism ( 7 ) and ( 8 ) urges the select-link ( 4 ) toward the lever bracket ( 3 ) so that the teeth ( 4 a) of the select-link ( 4 ) are brought close to the teeth ( 3 a) of the lever bracket ( 3 ).
