ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling a lock-up clutch between pump and turbine impellers in a fluid-filled power transmitting device of a motor vehicle, such that a slip control device controls the actual slip speed of the lock-up clutch so as to coincide with a transient target slip speed, the apparatus including a device for calculating a final target slip speed of the lock-up clutch which assures a maximum fuel economy of the vehicle during a steady-state running, a device for setting, as an initial value of the transient target slip speed, a difference between the speeds of the pump and turbine impellers immediately before an operation of the slip control device is initiated, and a device for reducing the transient target slip speed toward the final target slip speed at a rate which decreases as the transient target slip speed approaches the final target slip speed.
