A shift device, which sends a command signal to an electric actuator for shifting
a plurality of gear ranges of a transmission of a vehicle by the electric actuator.
The gear ranges include a plurality of drive ranges and a parking range. A shift
lever is arranged to move between a neutral position and a plurality of manipulation
positions located about the neutral position. A restoration mechanism restores
the shift lever to the neutral position. A first sensor electrically detects a
manipulation performed to select one of the drive ranges. A second sensor electrically
detects a manipulation performed to select the parking range. The first sensor
detects toward which of the manipulation positions the shift lever is manipulated.
