1. A transmission device for a vehicle, comprising:
a transmission operation unit for enabling a transmission operation of selecting one of a plurality of transmission stages;
a position adjusting unit for adjusting a position of the transmission operation unit to allow the transmission operation unit to slidingly move between a first position where the transmission operation is disabled and a second position where the transmission operation is enabled depending on whether the vehicle is in a first state or a second state, wherein the first state includes a state in which an engine of an internal combustion engine vehicle is not running or a state in which an electric vehicle is not drivable, and the second state includes a state in which the engine of the internal combustion engine vehicle is running or a state in which the electric vehicle is drivable; and
a seating cover disposed between the transmission operation unit and the position adjusting unit for allowing the transmission operation unit to be seated thereon at the first position,
wherein, while the transmission operation unit is moved from the first position to the second position, the transmission operation unit is subject to a combination of a translational motion and a rotational motion with respect to the seating cover.
