In at least some implementations, a shift lever assembly enables shifting among gears of a vehicle transmission. A primary shift path includes multiple positions corresponding to automatic transmission shifting among multiple drive gears, a reverse gear and a park gear. A secondary shift path includes multiple positions to permit user selection among the multiple drive gears, and an interconnecting path extends between the primary shift path and the secondary shift path so that the shift lever may move between the shift paths. A blocking member is movable relative to the shift lever to selectively permit or prevent the shift lever from moving from the primary shift path to the secondary shift path. An actuator moves the blocking member to prevent shift lever movement to the secondary shift path unless the shift lever is in a position corresponding to one of the multiple drive gears.
