Abstract
In a power transmission, which adjusts and transmits the rotational output of an engine by the engagement control of a starting clutch , the rotational speed Ne and the suction negative pressure Pb of the engine are measured while the starting clutch is being actuated from a disengaged condition to an engaged condition with the engine being operated under a constant operational condition. An engagement-control value is calculated for the starting clutch when there is a change in the rotational speed and the suction negative pressure being measured, and the engagement-control value calculated is stored as an initial control value for starting an engaging action of the starting clutch. This initial control value is used for controlling the engagement of the starting clutch.
