Patent ID: 7416515

Claim:
An engine torque control device comprising: an automatic transmission control section configured to perform an automatic transmission control of an automatic transmission by selectively disengaging at least one engaged shift element, and selectively engaging at least one disengaged shift element; and an engine output torque control section configured to perform an engine output torque control of an engine output torque from an engine with a first control amount during a first control period being preset in advance to a specific time, in which the at least one engaged shift element to be disengaged is disengaged, such that engine speed approaches a post-shift engine speed during a shift operation of the automatic transmission, the engine output torque control section being further configured to commence the engine output torque control before the at least one engaged shift element to be disengaged begins to be disengaged, and the engine output torque control section being further configured to perform the engine output torque control with the first control amount during the first control period that lasts up to a specific point from the start of the control, and a second control amount during a second control period from the specific point up to the completion of a shift, with the first and second control amounts being different.
