Abstract
A control system for an internal combustion engine with an automatic transmission having a torque converter, and a lock-up device. When gear shifting of the automatic transmission is carried out, the output torque of the engine is increased so as to reduce a shock caused by the gear shifting. The engaging force of the lock-up device is changed in response to the increase of the output torque.
