Abstract
A shift control system is arranged such that a shift lever is movable to a “P” position, an “R” position, an “N” position, a “D5” position and a “D4” position along a first shift guide path , it is movable also from the “D4” position to a “3/M” position along a connection shift guide path , and it is movable also along a second shift guide path , from the “3/M” position into a direction different from that of the connection shift guide path . When the shift lever is shifted to the “D5” position, the transmission is set into an automatic shift control with forward drive speed ratios up to the FIFTH speed ratio. When the shift lever is shifted to the “D4” position, the transmission is set into an automatic shift control with forward drive speed ratios up to the FOURTH speed ratio. When the shift lever is shifted from the “D4” position to the “3/M” position along the connection shift guide path , the transmission is set into a “3” range, where an automatic shift control is executed with forward drive speed ratios up to the THIRD speed ratio. Then, the shift lever at the “3/M” position is swiveled along the second shift guide path to shift the speed ratio of the transmission manually in steps.
