A control system is provided for the operation of a fluid torque converter for vehicles comprising a pump wheel connected to an engine output shaft, and a turbine wheel connected to a turbine shaft which is coupled to a driving wheel. A fluid transmits power between the pump wheel and the turbine wheel and a one-way clutch is provided between the engine output shaft and turbine shaft for connecting and disconnecting these shafts to and from each other. The one-way clutch, when in an engaged state, directly couples the engine output shaft and the turbine shaft to transmit power solely from the engine output shaft to the turbine shaft. The one-way clutch is provided with a load capacity control unit adapted to vary the load capacity thereof when the one-way clutch is in an engaged state.
