Apparatus for engine speed and clutch engagement control

摘要

A clutch connection/disconnection system (1) which causes a friction clutch (8) to slip appropriately when the clutch is automatically disconnected and connected. An engine is controlled according an accelerate command signal. During automatic clutch connection, the accelerate command signal approaches an actual accelerator pedal position signal. An approaching speed of the accelerate command signal is stepwise changed based on comparison between a particular value (S) and a threshold value (H1, H2). The "particular value" is a differential value (S) of a difference between an engine rotational speed (Ne) and clutch rotational speed (Nc). When the clutch is slipping, the engine rotational speed is controlled to rise gently so that overslipping of the clutch is prevented.
