A speed change device and a shift control apparatus that facilitate taking measures against frictional heat for a friction engagement element to be brought into a slipping engagement state are provided. A speed change device includes an input member drivably coupled to an internal combustion engine and a rotary electric machine, an output member drivably coupled to wheels, and a speed change mechanism that transfers rotation of the input member to the output member with a speed of the rotation changed with the speed ratio of a shift speed established in accordance with respective engagement states of a plurality of friction engagement elements. The speed change device or a control apparatus for the speed change device includes a slip travel mode in which a vehicle is run while transferring torque with one of the friction engagement elements B1, C1, ... caused to slip, and a slip engagement element B2, which is caused to slip in the slip travel mode, is to be engaged commonly for establishment of a forward start shift speed (1st) and a reverse start shift speed (Rev1). |
