PURPOSE:To prevent a tardy feeling and an ill feeling of a vehicle due to sudden increase of the rotating speed of an engine when a directly connected clutch is released from a slip controlled state by stepping on an accel pedal. CONSTITUTION:When a region shift judging means 202 judges a lockup clutch 32 to be shifted from a slip region to a release region on the basis of the opening of a throttle valve, a directly coupled clutch control means 204 releases the lockup clutch 32 at a speed corresponding to the opening change speed of the throttle valve. A tardy feeling of a vehicle as a result of too late release speed of the lockup clutch 32 and an ill feeling due to sudden increase of the rotating speed of an engine as a result of too early release speed of the lockup clutch 32 are, therefore, favorably dissolved. |
