Abstract: A control apparatus for a vehicle driving apparatus includes: a first-operating-state determining portion configured to determine whether the driving apparatus is in a first operating state, by determining (i) whether a first drive-force transmitting path is established to cause a drive force to be transmitted through a gear mechanism and (ii) whether there is a probability of generation of noises between an input shaft and an continuously-variable transmission; and a belt-clamping-force controlling portion configured to control a belt clamping force of the continuously-variable transmission, when it is determined that the driving apparatus is in the first operating state, to start execution of a belt-clamping-force increasing control for increasing the belt clamping force such that the belt clamping force is made larger when the driving apparatus is in the first operating state than when the driving apparatus is in an operating state that is different from the first operating state.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission includes: a first pulley having a first fixed sheave and a first movable sheave; a first cylinder forming a first oil chamber with the first movable sheave; a second pulley having a second fixed sheave and a second movable sheave; a second cylinder forming a second oil chamber with the second movable sheave; and a transmission belt wound around the first pulley and the second pulley. The first cylinder has a first member that is fixed to a first shaft and a second member that is joined to an outer peripheral portion of the first member. A bearing is interposed between an outer periphery of the first member and an inner periphery of a case. A thickness, in an axial direction, of a portion of the first member that is configured to directly abut against the first movable sheave is larger than a thickness of the second member.
