Abstract

This clutch control device includes an engine (13), a transmission gear (21), a clutch device (26), a clutch actuator (50), a control unit (60), a control parameter sensor (58), a clutch operator (4b), and a clutch operation amount sensor (4c), wherein the control unit (60) is configured to enable intervention of a manual clutch operation according to the clutch operator (4b) during automatic control of the clutch device (26) according to the clutch actuator (50), and the control unit (60) is configured to set a control target value of a clutch capacity to a connection preparation target value (Py) acquired by causing an operation target value (Pv) corresponding to an amount of operation of the clutch operator (4b) to approach a disconnection determination value (Pz) in a case in which a control parameter detected by the control parameter sensor (58) reaches the disconnection determination value (Pz) set in advance at a time of performing a clutch disconnection operation through intervention of the manual clutch operation.
