Abstract

A gear shifting control device for varying a gear ratio of a synchromesh transmission which controls an actuator to agree with an actual value of sleeve load in an axial direction with a required value with higher accuracy at a synchronizer of the transmission. A continuously varying driving signal with time is supplied to the actuator when necessary to change the actual value of the sleeve load to the required value different from the current value. A reaching time of the driving signal reaching the value corresponding to the required value to the actuator is determined based on an initial speed which is a speed of the sleeve at start of supplying the driving signal and a vibration cycle when the sleeve load is vibrated in response to the supply of a step signal to the actuator.
