ABSTRACT:
A controller (5) controls the engaging force between a pump impeller (1a) connected to an engine (2) and a turbine runner (1b) connected to an automatic transmission (23). The controller (5) first performs feedforward control of the engaging force. The controller (5) determines a reference value and a target rotation speed based on the capacity characteristics of the torque converter (1), and if the rotation speed of the engine (2) becomes less than the reference value, performs feedback control of the engaging force so that the deviation between the target rotation speed and the rotation speed decreases. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the controller (5) changes over from feedforward control to feedback control, even if the rotation speed of the engine (21) is not less than the reference value. As a result, the control precision of feedback control when performing a slip lock-up, is increased.
