A shift operation detecting component detects a shift position resulting from a manual shift operation of a manual transmission connected to an engine. A vehicle speed detecting component detects a vehicle speed. The computing component computes an input side transmission rotational speed value based on the vehicle speed and a gear ratio. A driving intent determining component determines a driver's driving intention.

Abstract: An engine control apparatus basically has a clutch release detecting component, a time measuring component and a rotational speed synchronization control component. The clutch release detecting component detects when a clutch arranged between an engine and a manual transmission has been released to prevent rotation from being transferred from the engine to the manual transmission during shifting. The time measuring component measures an amount of time that elapses after the clutch is released. The rotational speed synchronization control component starts rotational speed synchronization control when the clutch is released and a prescribed delay time has elapsed since the clutch was released so that an engine rotational speed matches a predicted input rotational speed of the manual transmission being based on a vehicle speed and a gear position that is occurring after shifting is completed.

Abstract: An engine speed synchronizer for a manual transmission with an engine clutch, synchronizes rotation of the engine side of the engine clutch with rotation of the transmission side of the engine clutch by engine speed control with reference to operation of a shift lever under condition that the engine clutch is disengaged. The engine speed synchronizer determines whether or not a transmission input speed has started to change in a direction conforming to the operation of the shift lever; permits the synchronization in response to determination that the transmission input speed has started to change in the conforming direction; and inhibits the synchronization in response to determination that the transmission input speed has not started to change in the conforming direction.

Abstract: An engine control apparatus controls an engine rotational speed to a target rotational speed by using a detected input side transmission rotational speed of a manual transmission as the target rotational speed upon detecting a clutch pedal depression amount during shifting being equal to or larger than a first prescribed depression amount, which is equal to or larger than a depression amount corresponding to a clutch disconnect position. The engine rotational speed is controlled to the target rotational speed by using the smaller of a computed transmission rotational speed (based on vehicle speed and gear ratio using a shift position) and the detected input side transmission rotational speed, upon detecting the clutch pedal depression amount during shifting being smaller than the first prescribed depression amount and larger than a second prescribed depression amount, which is smaller than the depression amount corresponding to the clutch disconnect position.

Abstract: An engine torque control device is configured to provide increase engine output torque during shifting, with excessive engine output torque being prevented while shift shock is reduced. The engine torque control device has an automatic transmission control section that controls an automatic transmission and an engine output torque control section that performs a torque increasing control of an engine output torque to increase the engine output torque during a downshifting so that an actual engine speed will substantially approach a target speed. The allowable time for torque increasing control is set according to the amount of torque increase. If the increase in engine output torque is below a specified value at the point when the allowable time has elapsed, the torque increasing control is continued, but if the torque increase is at or above the specified value when the allowable time has elapsed, the torque increasing control is forcibly halted.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus is configured to avoid a forward lunging of a vehicle during a downshift while decelerating. The vehicle control apparatus has a clutch element that operatively coupled to an output of an engine to perform a gear shift operation and a controller that controls engine speed during shifts. If deceleration fuel cutoff conditions are met immediately after engine speed control accompanying a gear shift, delaying the start of fuel cutoff is prohibited and fuel cutoff is started right away whenever the deceleration operating conditions immediately prior to the start of engine speed control have been sustained for at least a specific length of time. On the other hand, if the deceleration duration is less than the specified time, the start of fuel cutoff is delayed so as to avoid catalyst overheating.
