A continuously variable transmission includes a continuous gear-change mechanism, a gear-change operating section to which a gear-change operation is input, and a gear-change controlling section changing a gear ratio of the mechanism according to the gear-change operation that is input from the operating section. A first gear-change operation and a second gear-change operation, performed subsequently to the first operation, or an input from a second gear-change operating section can be input to the operating section. The e controlling section is provided with the plural gear ratios for plural gears and previously set, causes the mechanism to perform, according to the first operation, a gear-change operation to a gear ratio for a next gear, and to perform, according to the second operation, a gear-change operation to an intermediate gear ratio set between the gear ratio for the next gear and a gear ratio for a second next gear.

Continuously variable transmission

A shift control device for a transmission mechanism for a motor vehicle having a shift control leverprovided in the vicinity of a steering wheelfor column shifting, a steering shaftmovable in response to the operation of the steering wheel, and a shift shaftrotatable when the shift control leveris operated in a first direction dand axially movable when the shift control leveris operated in a second direction which is different from the first direction, wherein an axial direction Sof the shift shaftis different from an axial direction Sof the steering shaft. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a transmission mechanism shift control device for preventing the occurrence of a gear shift that the driver does not intend and improving further the operability thereof.
