Abstract
A shift control ECU includes the steps of storing a position of a shift lever; starting a count-up timer when the shift lever comes to a neutral position; and recognizing a driver's request for the neutral position when a count-up timer value attains TN() if the stored shift lever position is a home position and when a count-up timer value attains TN() if the stored shift lever position is not the home position. Here, TN() is set to be smaller than TN().
