A shift lever 1 having an improved structure for holding a conductor wire 3 in position during assembly. The conductor wire 3 has one end 31 thereof disposed in a knob 2 of the shift lever 1. The conductor wire 3 is fitted with a terminal 41 to provide an electrical connection to a switch 4. The conductor wire 3 has a base portion 33 extending from a bent portion 32 formed in an intermediate portion toward the other end 34 of the conductor wire 3. The knob 2 has a conductor wire support hole 21 provided along the base portion 33 of the conductor wire 3. The positioning of the base portion 33 of the conductor wire 3 is performed by inserting a part 51 of a forming die 5 into the conductor wire support hole 21 when forming a flesh portion 23 of the shift lever 1. The shift lever 1 according to the invention holds the conductor wire 3 in a normal position for assembly when the conductor wire 3 is fitted with the terminal 41 of the switch 4 to provide an electrical connection. |
