PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a shift responsiveness in a manual shift mode of an automatic transmission as much as possible, by making shifting according to a driver's intention carried out in an early stage, such as in the middle of a shift action.SOLUTION: When an action speed of a shifting-up action of a manual shift action member in the middle of a shift action is equal to or more than a predetermined shifting-up determination value, a shifting-up operation in a transmission mechanism of an automatic transmission is started (step S6). In addition, when an action speed of a shifting-down action of the manual shift action member in the middle of a shift action is equal to or more than a predetermined shifting-down determination value, a shifting-down operation in the transmission mechanism is started (step S6). Furthermore, according to a revolution speed of an engine and/or an action state of a driver for running a vehicle, at least one of the shifting-up determination value and the shifting-down determination value is changed (step S2).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】ドライバーの意図に合った変速を、変速操作の途中という早期の段階で行えるようにして、自動変速機の手動変速モード時の変速応答性を出来る限り向上させる。【解決手段】手動変速操作部材のシフトアップ操作の操作途中における操作速度が所定のシフトアップ判定値以上になったときには、自動変速機の変速機構でのシフトアップ動作を開始させるとともに（ステップＳ６）、手動変速操作部材のシフトダウン操作の操作途中における操作速度が所定のシフトダウン判定値以上になったときには、上記変速機構でのシフトダウン動作を開始させ（ステップＳ６）、さらに、エンジンの回転数、及び／又は、ドライバーの、車両を走行させるための操作状態に応じて、上記シフトアップ判定値及び上記シフトダウン判定値の少なくとも一方を変更する（ステップＳ２）。【選択図】図６
