SHIFT DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

A shift device (10; 66; 78) for a vehicle includes a housing (20) and a shift lever 18). The shift lever includes a cylindrical shaft portion (14) of which a proximal end is pivotably supported inside the housing (20), the cylindrical shaft portion (14) having elongated holes (39) that extend through a peripheral wall of the cylindrical shaft portion (14) and that are elongated in a longitudinal direction of the cylindrical shaft portion (14), a shift knob (16) fixed to a distal end of the cylindrical shaft portion (14), a detent pin (30; 70; 82) inserted through the elongated holes (39) in a state where both ends of the detent pin (30; 70; 82) protrude from the corresponding elongated holes (39), and a detent rod (34; 68; 80) inserted in the cylindrical shaft portion (14), the detent rod (34; 68; 80) being configured to transmit operating force of an operating button (44) provided in the shift knob (16) to the detent pin (30; 70; 82). The detent pin (30; 70; 82) has a fitting protrusion (42; 72; 84) protruded toward the detent rod (34; 68; 80). The detent rod (34; 68; 80) has a fitting hole (50) at its end. The fitting protrusion (42; 72; 84) is fitted in the fitting hole (50). A retaining pawl (58; 74; 86) that is engaged with an engaging recess (56) provided in the detent pin (30; 70; 82) or engaged with one of the elongated holes (39) is provided at the end of the detent rod (34; 68; 80). In an assembled state, radial movement of the retaining pawl (58; 74; 86) is restricted between the fitting protrusion (42; 72; 84) and the cylindrical shaft portion (14), and disengagement of the retaining pawl (58; 74; 86) is blocked.
