[PROBLEMS] To reduce a sense of discomfort given to a driver due to vehicle deceleration caused by a downshift that is not intended by the driver, which is caused by a failure of a rotation speed sensor or the like. [SOLUTIONS] An automatic transmission includes: a transmission mechanism configured to shift rotation of a driving source and transmit the rotation to a driving wheel; and a clutch configured to control transmission of a torque from the driving source to the driving wheel, wherein when a change rate of a rotation speed of the driving source is equal to or higher than a predetermined change rate, a torque transmission capacity of the clutch is reduced.

A control apparatus for a vehicle that including a drive-force transmitting apparatus and a hydraulic control unit. The drive-force transmitting apparatus defines a drive-force transmitting path through which a drive force is to be transmitted by a continuously-variable transmission mechanism when the drive-force transmitting path is established by engagement of an engagement device. An electromagnetic valve of the hydraulic control unit regulates a hydraulic pressure supplied to the electromagnetic valve via a hydraulic passage, such that the regulated hydraulic pressure is supplied toward the engagement device. An accumulator of the hydraulic control unit is connected to the hydraulic passage, so as to store the hydraulic pressure that flows through the hydraulic passage. The control apparatus calculates, based on a storage state of the hydraulic pressure in the accumulator, an input torque inputted to the continuously-variable transmission mechanism when the engagement device is in a releasing process state.

A control system and method for controlling a continuously variable transmission in a vehicle propulsion system includes measuring a speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission, determining whether the measured speed ratio is drifting away from a commanded speed ratio, and adjusting the commanded speed ratio to a value that is different than a desired speed ratio if the measured speed ratio is drifting away from the commanded speed ratio.

A first target secondary pulley pressure Psteng is calculated based on an output torque Teng of an engine, and then an offset value Psteng+PO is calculated by adding a predetermined offset PO to the first target secondary pulley pressure Psteng. The first target secondary pulley pressure Psteng is outputted as a target secondary pulley pressure Ps(n) when a target secondary pulley pressure Ps(n1) in a previous control cycle is less than or equal to the first target secondary pulley pressure Psteng; the offset value Psteng+PO is outputted as the target secondary pulley pressure Ps(n) when the target secondary pulley pressure Ps(n1) in the previous control cycle is greater than or equal to the offset value Psteng+PO; and otherwise, the target secondary pulley pressure Ps(n1) in the previous control cycle is outputted as the target secondary pulley pressure Ps(n), thereby suppressing an oscillation in the target secondary pulley pressure Ps(n).

A torque detector includes a torque cam, a pulse gear, a rotation pulse detection member, and a torque acquisition member. The torque cam is disposed on a rotating shaft and capable of moving in an axial direction of the rotating shaft according to torque input to the rotating shaft. The pulse gear includes a tooth formed on an outer circumferential surface of the torque cam. The rotation pulse detection member disposed so as to oppose the pulse gear is configured to detect the tooth of the pulse gear in rotation and to output a pulse train. The torque acquisition member is configured to acquire the torque from the pulse train. The tooth extends in the axial direction and a tooth thickness becomes continuously larger or smaller from a first side to a second side in the axial direction.

A drive-train of a vehicle with at least a drive motor (1) and a transmission (2) in which at least one torque sensor (6, 6A) is provided for control purposes. The torque sensor (6, 6A) is integrated in a transmission component in order to determine, at the time, the applied torque.

A Cone with One Torque Transmitting Member that can be used to construct Non-friction Dependent CVT's that can be used with a Transmission Belt for which the teeth of the Transmission Belt are shaped below the belt of the Transmission Belt, such as a Timing Belt for example. In order to provide a Level Resting Place for the Transmission Belt on the conical (sloped) surfaces of its Cone, which are surfaces that are not covered by a Torque Transmitting Member or a Non-Torque Transmitting Member, the Torque Transmitting Member and the Non-Torque Transmitting Member each have a Leveling Extension. The Leveling Extension of the Torque Transmitting Member can enter and exit the Non-Torque Transmitting Member as required; and the Leveling Extension of the Non-Torque Transmitting Member can enter and exit the Torque Transmitting Member as required.
