Shift apparatus

A shift apparatus mounted on a vehicle, the shift apparatus comprising:

• a shift switching member that includes a plurality of valley sections according to a shift position;
• a positioning member that is provided to establish the shift position in a state of being fitted into any one of the plurality of valley sections of the shift switching member;
• an actuator for driving the shift switching member;
• and
• a driving force transmission mechanism that includes a driving-side member that is provided on an actuator side and a driven-side member that is provided on a shift switching member side and is rotated according to rotation of the driving-side member, and rotates the shift switching member by transmitting a driving force from the actuator side,
• wherein the driving-side member and the driven-side member are configured to be able to relatively rotate in an engaged state by a predetermined amount of backlash by providing the predetermined amount of backlash between the driving-side member and the driven-side member, and a position of a valley bottom of the valley section into which the positioning member is fitted is configured to be learned, based on a difference between a rotational angle on the actuator side which is generated due to the predetermined amount of backlash and a rotational angle on the shift switching member side.
