Abstract

A driving-force transmitting apparatus includes first and second friction clutches, a piston that presses the first and second friction clutches, a hydraulic pump that feeds hydraulic oil to a cylinder chamber in the piston, an electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump, and a control apparatus that controls the electric motor to adjust the discharge pressure of the hydraulic pump. The control apparatus has a feedback control apparatus that controls the electric motor using a correction value based on a deviation between a target value and an actual value of the discharge pressure of the hydraulic pump, a hydraulic-oil temperature estimating apparatus that estimates a temperature of hydraulic oil, and a gain adjusting apparatus that changes a correction amount for feedback control in accordance with the estimated temperature of the hydraulic oil.
