A multiple-gear vehicle transmission (3) has a split gear assembly (17) on its input side, a range gear assembly (19) on its output side, and a main gear assembly (18) between them. A drive power of an engine (1) is transmitted to a propeller shaft (5) via the multiple-gear vehicle transmission (3). The split gear assembly (17) has a neutral position (N) in addition to high and low gear positions (H, L). In general, a splitter controller (9, 20) intermittently shifts the split gear assembly (17) between the neutral position (N) and high gear position (H) to intermittently lubricate various parts such as bearings (61A, 61B, 61C) and synchronization mechanisms in a transmission casing (3a). By shifting the split gear assembly (17) into the high gear position, a counter shaft (32) is caused to rotate so that oil is scooped up toward the bearings by the counter shaft (32) and is also supplied to the bearings by an oil pump (35). However, when the engine (1) is started after a considerable period, the controller (9, 20) prohibits the split gear assembly (17) from being shifted into the neutral position (N) in order to continuously lubricate the bearings (61A, 61B, 61C) for a certain period. The intermittent lubrication is conducted after that.
