Claim 4:
5. A method for transmitting shift signals of an electronic shift system including a shift operation device, the method comprising:
transmitting, by the shift operation device, a shift signal generated at a time of operating the shift operation device, to a transmission control unit (TCU), wherein the shift operation device is configured so that one shift stage and one shift signal among the shift signals are matched one to one and is configured to transmit the shift signals which are each individually separated according to shifting stages; and
stopping, by the shift operation device, the transmitting of the shift signal according to a control of the TCU after a predetermined time period determined by TCU's counting a time from a point of time of transmitting the shift signal generated at the time of operating the shift operation device when a shift signal among the shift signals which are individually separated according to the shifting stages is received by the TCU,
wherein, when the shift operation device transmits a shift signal when a shift condition is not satisfied, the shift operation device is configured to stop transmitting of the shift signal according to a control of the TCU after the predetermined time period elapses, and
wherein the shift operation device transmits another shift signal within the predetermined time period after stopping the transmitting of the shift signal when the shift condition is satisfied, so that the TCU accepts the another shift signal and performs a control of a transmission according to the another shift signal.
