Abstract
Processing circuitry included in a controller is configured to: when the processing circuitry acquires a shift command by which a first gear stage is shifted to a second gear stage, execute transmission rate reducing control of controlling a clutch actuator such that a power transmission rate is reduced; after the transmission rate reducing control is executed, execute shift control of controlling a shift actuator such that a transmission gear pair corresponding to the first gear stage and engaging structures corresponding to the first gear stage are disengaged from each other, and a transmission gear pair corresponding to the second gear stage and engaging structures corresponding to the second gear stage are engaged with each other; and after the shift control is executed, execute transmission rate increasing control of controlling the clutch actuator such that the power transmission rate is increased.
