Shift lever device for vehicle

A shift lever device for a vehicle, comprising:

• a shift lever rotationally operated to change an operating range position in an automatic transmission of the vehicle;
• a torque detecting unit having a supporting part to which an operator's operating force against the shift lever is inputted, the supporting part being arranged in a pivot part of the shift lever to detect an operator's operating force applied on the shift lever;
• an assist-force imparting unit configured to impart an assist force to the shift lever corresponding to torque detected by the torque detecting unit thereby outputting the assist force to the automatic transmission;
• a transmission plate attached to the supporting part of the torque detecting unit so as to rotate together with the supporting part integrally;
• and
• a check mechanism configured to press the transmission plate elastically thereby imparting operational feeling to the shift lever through the transmission plate.
