  • Patent number: 11585395
    Abstract: This transmission device includes a mode changeover switch (59) on which a mode changeover operation between a manual mode (M2) and an automated mode (M1) is externally performed, other operation unit (80) on which a predetermined shift operation is externally performed separately from the mode changeover switch (59), and a control unit (60) configured to control a mode changeover between the manual mode (M2) and the automated mode (M1). The control unit (60) executes the mode changeover between the manual mode (M2) and the automated mode (M1) on the basis of the mode changeover operation on the mode changeover switch (59). When the shift operation on the other operation unit (80) has been performed, the control unit (60) executes the mode changeover between the manual mode (M2) and the automated mode (M1).
