Abstract

During an upshift in a full-throttle state, the output of a shift command (Us1) from a control unit is followed by a delay in initiation of an actual shift, due to a delay in increase in oil pressure, a rise in the clutch torque load, etc. A shift initiation (Uj) is determined by comparing the input rotational speed (Ni) with the product of multiplication of the output rotational speed (vehicle speed) (No) by the pre-shift gear ratio. The shift point (Mp1) is learning-corrected based on the shift initiation-time engine rotational speed (NeI). Therefore, false learning is avoided even if the engine races during a shift.
