Abstract
A transmission changes gears in a MT system, an AT system, and an AMT system wherein unintended transition between an AT mode and a MT mode or between an AMT mode and a MT mode is prevented. A selector in a controller performs a mode selection control such that, when performing transition between the AT mode and the MT mode or between the AMT mode and the MT mode, the driver at least has to operate a mode switching switch while operating a clutch lever in an operation amount not smaller than a predetermined threshold.
