Abstract
A clutch control device includes an engine, a gearbox, a clutch device configured to disconnect and connect power transmission between the engine and the gearbox, a clutch actuator configured to drive the clutch device and vary a clutch capacity, and an ECU configured to calculate a control target value of the clutch capacity, and the ECU determines whether an engine rotational number after downshifting by the gearbox enters a high rotation region and decreases the clutch capacity after downshifting when it is determined that the engine rotational number after downshifting enters the high rotation region.
