Abstract
A control system is for a clutch mechanism. The clutch mechanism includes a first engaging element, a second engaging element, and a piston. The first engaging element is configured to be moved according to change of a position of the piston. The first engaging element and the second engaging element are coupled to each other such that torque can be transmitted from the first engaging element to the second engaging element. The control system comprises an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to learn an engagement start position, according to a rotational speed of one of the first engaging element and the second engaging element. The engagement start position is a position of the first engaging element at the time when the first engaging element and the second engaging element start contacting with each other.
