ABSTRACT:
A shifting device for a vehicle automatic transmission comprises a manual shift mode which permits a driver to manually change a speed ratio by displacing a shift lever to an upshift or downshift direction from its neutral position in a manual operation lane. An upshift signal input terminal and a downshift signal input terminal are provided in a control unit. Upshift signals transmitted from an upshift switch of a selector and a steering switch on a steering wheel are input into the upshift signal input terminal, and downshift signals transmitted from a downshift switch of the selector and the steering switch on the steering wheel are input into the downshift signal input terminal. In this way, the number of input terminals of the control unit is reduced.
