Control apparatus of vehicular automated manual transmission

Abstract

A control apparatus of a vehicular automated manual transmission includes an input shaft provided with a plurality of drive gears, and an output shaft provided with a plurality of driven gears engaging with the drive gears, in which the drive gears and the driven gears form a plurality of transmission gear trains through engaging with each other. When down-shifting among the transmission gear trains, an engine speed Ne is set higher by a predetermined value α than an input shaft rotational speed Nm. Thereby, the drag torque of the wet clutch works in such a manner that the input shaft rotational speed is increased, so that the difference of rotational speed between the input shaft and the output shaft becomes small. Accordingly, a transmission characteristic of the vehicular automated manual transmission with wet multi-disc type clutch can be improved.
