Abstract:
1. A vehicle control apparatus comprising a gear type transmission having plural gears and plural mesh type clutches, for transmitting torque from an input shaft to an output shaft, and a torque correcting apparatus for transmitting torque from said input shaft to said output shaft by adjusting a pressing force, wherein: a torque transmitting path from said input shaft to said output shaft is provided by connection of said gears to one of said mesh type clutches; when changing said connection of said gears with said mesh type clutches from a first connection to a second connection, said torque transmitting path from said input shaft to said output shaft is shifted to an other torque transmitting path provided by controlling said torque correcting apparatus; and torque of said input shaft is controlled after disengagement of said first connection and before engagement of said second connection so that a ratio of rotational speed of said input shaft to rotational speed of said output shaft falls within a designated range, by a time when said other torque transmitting path is changed to a torque transmitting path provided by said second connection.
