Abstract: In a vehicle on which a torque converter having a lock-up clutch is mounted between an engine and a transmission, a meet point learning controller is provided to perform learning control for obtaining a learning value based on information on a meet point at which the lock-up clutch starts torque transmission. The meet point learning controller estimates a LU transmission torque based on a difference between an engine torque signal value and a torque converter transmission torque when the lock-up clutch moves from a non-engaged state to an engaged state during traveling of the vehicle, and uses, as the meet point information, a meet point detection pressure at a time when the LU transmission torque estimated value is determined to have entered an upward trend.

Abstract: A drive pulley (12) is formed by a piston-cylinder mechanism in which a seal ring (15) is set on an outer periphery of a fixed piston plate (16) that is in sliding contact with a cylinder inner peripheral surface (12d) of a cylinder (12b), and is driven by being supplied with hydraulic pressure. As a control parameter of a surface roughness shape of the cylinder inner peripheral surface (12d) of the drive pulley (12), a kurtosis (Rku) of a roughness curve and a skewness (Rsk) of the roughness curve, each of which is a height direction characteristic average parameter, are used. The cylinder inner peripheral surface (12d) is set to a surface having a surface roughness shape whose measurement values of the kurtosis (Rku) and the skewness (Rsk) are predetermined respective control values or less. With this, it is possible to surely suppress sliding abrasion of the liquid-tight seal member.
