Abstract

The first control unit (71) outputs a drive signal to the motor actuator (63) to move the motor clutch (61). The first position determination unit (73) determines the position of the motor clutch (61) based on the output of the sleeve stroke sensor (52). The first wire breakage determination unit (75) detects a wire breakage in the sleeve stroke sensor (52) if the amount of change in the output of the sleeve stroke sensor (52) per predetermined time is greater than or equal to a threshold. The first movement determination unit (77) determines whether or not the motor clutch (61) is moving. The first wire breakage determination unit (75) changes the threshold depending on whether or not the first movement determination unit (77) has determined that the motor clutch (61) is moving or not.
