Shift Operation Apparatus For Vehicle

Abstract

A vehicle shift operation apparatus has a shift lever (2) that is pivotally operated by a driver. A bracket (3) pivotally mounts the shift lever (2). An operation wire Wa connects the shift lever (2) and a vehicle transmission (K). Outer tubes (Wb1, Wb2) cover an external surface portion of the operation wire (Wa). A securing portion (4) secures the outer tube (Wb2) at a predetermined position. The transmission (K) is actuated through the operation wire (Wa) by pivotally operating the shift lever (2). A direction changing mechanism (5) is disposed between the shift lever connecting portion (2a) connected, with the operation wire (Wa), and the securing portion (4) of the outer tube (Wb2). The direction changing mechanism (5) may arbitrarily change the extending direction of the operation wire (Wa).
