Abstract:
1. An apparatus for controlling a vehicle being capable of forming a first torque transmission path and a second torque transmission path, said first torque transmission path transmitting a torque from an engine to an axle through a rust friction clutch, a first input shaft, an output shaft, and a plurality of gears and mesh type clutches disposed between said first input shaft and said output shaft, said second torque transmission path transmitting a torque from said engine to said axle through a second friction clutch, a second input shaft, said output shaft, and a plurality of gears and mesh type clutches disposed between said second input shaft and said output shaft, wherein a transmission gear ratio in said first torque transmission path is changeable by changing connections between said gears and mesh type clutches in said first torque transmission path, when a connection between said gears and said mesh type clutches in said first torque transmission path is changed from a first connection to a second connection in a state that said first friction clutch is transmitting a torque, a torque from said engine is transmitted to said axle via said second torque transmission path with gears having a reduction gear ratio lower than reduction gear ratios of said first and second connections of said first torque transmission path.
