A shift lever device (10) in which a shift lever lock mechanism is not released inadvertently, and improper operation is prevented. In the shift lever device, a lock plate (32), which impedes movement of a detent rod (24), is covered by a cavity portion (14) of a shift lever (12). These internal devices are covered by a cover box (38) and a detent plate (40). In a P shift position, a gap formed by, on the one hand, the cover box and the detent plate, and, on the other hand, the shift lever and the cavity portion thereof, is a labyrinthine structure which is stepped along a horizontal direction. Accordingly, improper operation can be further prevented. <IMAGE> |
