Abstract
An apparatus for moving a shift lever includes an actuator to move the shift lever to a predetermined shift stage by applying a pressure to one side of the shift lever through a pressing member, a position detection unit to detect a position of the pressing member, and a control unit to drive a driving unit, which provides, if a stoppage of the pressing member is detected based on the detection result of the position detection unit, a driving force to the pressing member so as to eliminate the stoppage.
