A control apparatus for controlling a drive mechanism including a continuously variable transmission and a clutch device torque capacities of which are variable and which are disposed in series with each other between a drive power source and drive wheel, the control apparatus including a clutch-torque-capacity adjusting portion for adjusting the torque capacity of the clutch device such that the clutch device is capable of transmitting an output torque of the drive power source, without a slipping action of the clutch device, and a transmission-torque-capacity adjusting portion for adjusting the torque capacity of the continuously variable transmission after the torque capacity of the clutch device has been adjusted by the clutch-torque-capacity adjusting means, such that the continuously variable transmission is operable without a slipping action thereof. Also disclosed is a method of controlling the drive mechanism to adjust the torque capacities of the clutch device and the continuously variable transmission.
