Abstract:
1. An automobile control method having a driving force source for generating driving force and a gear type transmission having a plurality of torque transfer mechanism capable of transferring torque from an input shaft to an output shaft and a plurality of gear pairs, wherein; by said plurality of torque transfer mechanism and said plurality of gear pairs, at least one of a first, second and third torque transfer path from said input shaft to said output shaft are formed, and at least one of said torque transfer mechanism is a transfer torque variable mechanism capable of adjusting transfer torque, and at least one of other torque transfer mechanism is a mesh type transfer mechanism, and said transfer torque variable mechanism is controlled, thus said first torque transfer path is switched to said second torque transfer path to carry out shifting, and during a period of transferring at least a part of torque of said driving power source by said transfer torque variable mechanism, said torque of said driving power source is controlled at least once so as to increase to a value greater than said torque before start of said period to carry out shifting.
