A clutch control system for a vehicle, the clutch control system comprising:

• a clutch disposed in a path of transmission between an engine and a wheel of the vehicle;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the clutch,
• the control unit comprising
• one or more processors, and
• one or more memories configured to store one or more instructions to be executed by the one or more processors,
• the one or more processors being configured, in accordance with the one or more instructions, to
• acquire an engine torque,
• based on the engine torque, calculate a base transmission torque of the clutch,
• calculate a first transmission torque of the clutch by limiting, based on a first limiting condition, an amount of change of the base transmission torque,
• based on the first transmission torque, control the clutch,
• during return from a fuel cut, calculate a second transmission torque of the clutch by limiting, based on a second limiting condition, the amount of change of the base transmission torque, the second limiting condition limiting the amount of change further than does the first limiting condition, and
• during return from the fuel cut, control the clutch based on the second transmission torque.
