Patent ID: 8296023

Claim:
A control apparatus for a continuously variable transmission including a lock-up clutch, comprising: learning means for performing a learning cycle in which a hydraulic fluid pressure of said lock-up clutch is learned; wherein the hydraulic fluid pressure controls said lock-up clutch to engage, disengage, or slip; transmission control means for executing transmission feedback control by increasing transmission gain when brake manipulation is detected as compared to when brake manipulation is not detected; and means for limiting said hydraulic fluid pressure of said lock-up clutch such that said lock-up clutch is not disengaged before completion of the learning cycle, said transmission control means including means for (i) suppressing an amount of increase in said transmission gain after completion of the learning cycle as compared to before completion of the learning cycle, or (ii) preventing increase in said transmission gain after completion of the learning cycle as compared to before completion of the learning cycle.
