A shift manipulating device for an automatic transmission includes a shift lever of an automatic transmission device and a path formed on an upper cover of a control switch device. The path includes manipulating positions arranged in at least P range, R range, N range and D range in this order, and on three lines, that is, second line, third line and fourth line in right and left directions. The P range is arranged in a first path on the second line and at an end of the path, the R range is arranged in a second path on the fourth line of the first path, the N range is in a third path on the second line of the second path, and the D range is in a fourth path on the second line.
Thus the number of parts and man-hour for assembling are reduced.
