Abstract: A system/method for shift restraint control and controlling a transmission input speed or an engine output speed. An automobile may include an acceleration input, a throttle unit, an engine, a torque converter, a transmission, and an electronic control unit (ECU), and a plurality of sensors. The ECU may reduce inertia loss, engine noise, and non-linear acceleration feeling by controlling the engine speed or transmission input speed in an initial shift mode, an inertia hold mode, a return mode, and/or a second shift mode. Drive force is maintained with throttle compensation, and fuel economy is maintained or improved due to the reduction in inertia loss. The ECU may limit an initial downshift using a maximum guard value and subsequently control a rate of increase of the transmission input speed or engine output speed using increments until a target is reached or a cancel condition is met.

Abstract: A speed changing control apparatus for use in a vehicle includes: a driving power source configured to generate driving power for running; a transmission having a synchromesh mechanism configured to synchronize an input shaft revolution number with an output shaft revolution number and an actuator configured to automatically carry out a shift operation; and an automatic clutch disposed between the driving power source and the transmission. The speed changing control apparatus is configured to start a shift disengaging operation for the transmission after a speed change is requested and before the automatic clutch turns into a decoupled state, so as to suppress torsional vibration at the time of decoupling the automatic clutch. Such control enables the synchromesh mechanism to carry out revolution synchronization with the input shaft revolution number of the transmission in a lowered state, and diminishes a revolution difference subjected to synchronization.
