Abstract
A control apparatus of automatic transmission controls by oil pressure at least one clutch of an automatic transmission connected to an engine output to be engaged or disengaged to make gear shifting. In this control apparatus, the output torque of the engine is calculated on the basis of a parameter representative of a load of the engine and the engine speed. In addition, a transfer torque necessary for the clutch is calculated by use of at least the calculated engine output torque and the engine speed. Then, a command value of oil pressure acted on the clutch is determined by the calculated transfer torque.
