Therefore, in order to detect whether or not the vehicle driver is going to perform a shift operation, the upper lever 2
It suffices to detect whether or not 2 is rotated, and the shift operation detector 15 ′ has a movable contact 27 provided over the entire inner circumference of the lower end of the upper lever 22 and a lower lever 20 corresponding to the movable contact 27. And a fixed contact 28 provided over the entire circumference of the side surface of the. When the vehicle driver applies a force to the upper lever 22 to perform the shift operation, the movable contact 27 comes into contact with the fixed contact 28 to detect the vehicle driver's intention to shift.
