Clutch control device for use in motor vehicle continuously variable transmission as target engaging force for clutch set higher than minimum engaging force by a predetermined value

摘要

The clutch control device has a clutch control part (54), which controls the engagement state of the clutch. The minimum engaging force, which is capable of maintaining the completely engaged state of the clutch, is predetermined to increase according to an increase in engine torque. The clutch control unit has an engaging force setting part (54A), which sets the target engaging force for the clutch to a higher value than the minimum engaging force by a predetermined value. The clutch control unit controls the engagement state of the clutch so that the actual engaging force for the clutch can be higher than the minimum engaging force by the predetermined value.
