Claim:
A shift lever device for transmission operation of a vehicle, comprising: a shift lever which can change a shift position; a locking member switched, by operation of a vehicle occupant, between a movable state and a movement limited state, and, in the movement limited state, the locking member is disposed at an impeding position at which the locking member impedes transmission operation movement of the shift lever; a withdrawing member attached to the locking member so as to be able to move relative thereto, the withdrawing member being pushed by the transmission operation movement of the shift lever, and, due to a component of force thereof, being withdrawn from a path of the transmission operation movement of the shift lever; and a biasing member provided between the locking member and the withdrawing member, and, in a state in which the locking member is in the movable state and the shift lever is moved for transmission operation, the biasing member interlocks the locking member with the withdrawing member and causes the locking member to withdraw from the path of the transmission operation movement of the shift lever.
