GEAR SHIFT CONTROL DEVICE, A VEHICLE USING THE SAME, AND GEAR SHIFT CONTROL METHOD

The invention provides a gear shift control device, a vehicle using the same, and a gear shift control method, by that further improvement on driveability can be achieved. The gear shift mechanism controlled by a gear shift control device includes a plurality of engagement mechanisms and engages three engagement mechanisms to establish any one of a plurality of shift stages. The gear shift controldevice is adapted to change speed to a desired shift stage set by a manual operation. If a gear shift to the desired shift stage involves the skipping of one or more shift stages and the switching oftwo or more engagement mechanisms among the plurality of engagement mechanisms that are currently engaged, then the gear shift control device performs the gear shift to the desired shift stage such that the engagement mechanisms to be switched via a shift stage or stages to be skipped are switched one by one. 本发明提供变速控制装置、使用了该变速控制装置的车辆和变速控制方法。利用本发明能够实现驾驶性的进步提高。变速控制装置控制的变速机构具备多个卡合机构，且为了确立多个变速级之中的任级而使3个卡合机构卡合。变速控制装置变速至基于手动操作
