Abstract
Vehicular manual transmission control apparatus is of the type in which two or more selectable shift positions of a shift lever () can be varied on the basis of a travel control state (e.g., position of the shift lever) of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a guide section (various shift patterns), which allows shift operation of the shift lever along a given shift path, assigned a high selection priority, to be performed with ease when the lever is to be shifted to a desired one of the shift positions. The guide section is implemented by a reactive force generation mechanism () which is in turn implemented by a control device ().
