Impact energy absorption structure for a shifting device of vehicle transmission

A speed change shift device 5 comprises a device main body 7 and a shift lever 9 protruding from the device main body 7. An impact energy absorption structure for the device 5 is constructed such that the device main body 7 is fixed to vehicle body side brackets 4 via the impact energy absorption body A. The impact energy absorption body A is broken by an impact energy F applied to the device 5, whereby the device 5 is allowed to move in an impact energy applied direction.
