Vehicle gear shifting lever assembly comprises a lever having a knob on the end thereof. The knob is pivotally mounted on the lever for relative movement in the to and fro directions of movement of the gear shift lever. Signal generating means are provided on portions of the knob and on the lever which produce a signal when the knob is moved relative to the lever. The knob is releasably coupled to the lever by a coupling means which releases upon application of a force which is less than the force required to move the lever when changing gears. When gears are changed, the knob first moves relative to the lever and the lever is then moved. The signal generated by the signal generating means is used to deenergize the ignition system of the vehicle so that the clutch need not be depressed during gear changing.
