Abstract
In a continuously variable transmission apparatus for a vehicle having a slip type clutch disposed between a drive shaft of an engine and an input shaft of a continuously variable transmission mechanism, a torque detecting device to detect torque of the engine, an engine speed detecting device to detect rotational speed of the engine, an output shaft speed detecting device to detect rotational speed of an output shaft of the slip type clutch, a vehicle speed detecting device to detect running speed of the vehicle, and an electronic control device to control the continuously variable transmission mechanism and the slip type clutch according to signals from the detecting devices are provided. The slip type clutch control device is controlled to give a reference amount of slip determined according to driving condition of the vehicle, and speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission mechanism is controlled to a value determined primarily on the basis of control signal of the slip type clutch.
