Abstract
Apparatus for controlling a vehicle drive system including an automatic transmission, including a feedback controller operable upon a shift-down action of the transmission effected by concurrent releasing and engaging actions of first and second frictional coupling devices during an operation of a manually operable vehicle accelerating member to drive the vehicle with the drive power soruce, for controlling an engaging force of the first frictional coupling device, and a learning compensator operable upon detection of an abnormality of the shift-down action, for learning compensation of an initial value of the engaging force at which a feedback control of the engaging force is initiated, or an output reducing device for reducing an output of a drive power source when input speed of the transmission has been increased to a value close to a synchronization value, and/or upon racing of the drive power source during the shift-down action.
