Abstract:
A shift control system for a vehicular automatic transmission, comprising:a first shift guide path which guides a shift lever manipulated by a driver between a first automatic shift control position and a second automatic shift control position; a connection shift guide path which extends in a direction different from that of said first shift guide path and guides said shift lever from said second automatic shift control position to a manual shift control position; and a second shift guide path which guides said shift lever positioned at said manual shift control position into a direction different from that of said connection shift guide path; wherein: when said shift lever is shifted in said connection shift guide path from said second automatic shift control position to said manual shift control position, said transmission is shifted to a speed ratio lower than a speed ratio that has been in effect prior to this shifting of said shift lever; and every time said shift lever at said manual shift control position is swiveled in said second shift guide path, said transmission is shifted to a speed ratio next in order in a sequentially arranged forward drive speed ratios.
