Abstract
A shift controlling apparatus includes an automatic shift mode returning member with a manual shift mode wherein a transmission is manually shifted and an automatic shift mode wherein the transmission is automatically shifted based on an automatic shift map and changes over. When a manual shift operation is carried out in the automatic shift mode, the shift mode moves to the manual shift mode and then automatically returns to the automatic shift mode after the manual shift operation. The automatic shift mode returning member includes a manual operational detection member for detecting a manual shift operation for shift up or shift down of the transmission during the automatic shift mode, first operational state discrimination member for discriminating an operational state of a vehicle when the manual shift operation is carried out, and second operational state discrimination member for discriminating an operational state of the vehicle after the manual shift operation.
