A shift lever mechanism ( 10 ) comprises a housing ( 12 ), having a longitudinal axis ( 14 ), and a lever ( 16 ), having a first end ( 18 ), a second end ( 20 ) and a longitudinal axis ( 22 ). The mechanism ( 10 ) further comprises pivoting means ( 24 ) adapted to facilitate pivoting of the lever ( 16 ) into predetermined positions. The mechanism ( 10 ) further comprises lever position indication means ( 78 ) operable to indicate disposal of the lever in one or more positions, and resilient means ( 92 ), operable to provide resistance to displacement of the lever ( 16 ) into a predetermined restricted position. The pivoting means ( 24 ) is attached to the lever ( 16 ) and is disposed in a retaining cup ( 38 ), being operable to pivot therein. The retaining cup ( 38 ) is disposed in the housing ( 12 ). The lever position indication means ( 78 ) and the resilient means being disposed on the pivoting means ( 24 ).
