Abstract
A signal detector is located before an automatic transmission for detecting timing such that torque outputted from a torque converter of the automatic transmission at the moment of upshifting changes from clutch before shift to clutch after shift. A signal detector is located after the automatic transmission for detecting timing such that torque outputted from a torque converter of said automatic transmission at the moment of downshifting changes from clutch before shift to clutch after shift. An apparatus executes the driving shaft torque control in response to the changes in both torque signal detectors.
