A twin-clutch transmission calculates a rotational speed difference (|Na?Nb|) between an odd-stage main shaft rotational speed (Na) and an even-stage main shaft rotational speed (Nb) and learns synchronization start gear shift drive displacement (?s) detected by a gear shift drive displacement detecting unit at the timing at which the rotational speed difference (|Na?Nb|) reaches a predetermined synchronization start determination rotational speed difference (Ds) from gear shift start. The twin-clutch transmission controls an actuator on the basis of the learned synchronization start gear shift drive displacement (?s).
