Abstract
An automatic transmission apparatus of the invention includes a friction clutch connected to the output shaft of an engine, a clutch actuator for driving the friction clutch, a parallel shaft type gear transmission whose input shaft is connected to the friction clutch, a wheel brake device, and a start control means, which operates the friction clutch to a target rack stroke and adjusts rotation of the engine to a target engine rotational speed when an accelerator pedal depression amount is below a first preset value, and operates the wheel brake device until the engine rotational speed reaches its peak value when the accelerator pedal depression amount is between the first preset value and a second preset value smaller than the first preset value. With this start control means, a vehicle can be smoothly started.
