Abstract:
1. A control device for a vehicle, wherein the control device comprises a start clutch for transmitting an engine torque to an input shaft, a shift clutch for transmitting said engine torque from said input shaft to an output shaft, and a gear transmission coupling selectively connecting a plurality of gears to a plurality of dog clutches to form a transmission passage route of torque from said input shaft to said output shaft, wherein the control device further comprises a function for switching between an automatic shift mode, in which a shift ratio is selected automatically according to a predetermined set of shift characteristics, and a manual shift mode, in which a shift ratio is selected according to a manual operation, wherein a shift shock reduction amount is varied during switching from a first coupling to a second coupling of said gears and said dog clutches, by controlling said shift clutch, according to said automatic shift mode and said manual shift mode, and wherein the vehicle comprises an accelerator pedal, and wherein the control device controls the torque of said engine independently of a depression magnitude of said accelerator pedal in said automatic shifting mode, and dependently of the depression magnitude of said accelerator pedal in said manual shifting mode.
