Abstract
A vehicle engine () is connected with a belt-type continuously variable transmission () via a clutch (). The transmission () transmits torque via a belt () between a pair of pulleys (), and varies the transmission torque according to a supply of oil pressure. The clutch () engages by means of oil pressure supplied as a shift lever is changed over from a neutral range to a drive range. An oil pressure supplying device () supplies the oil pressure required to transmit torque between the belt () and the pulleys (), and the oil pressure for engaging the clutch (). Slippage between the belt () and the pulleys () is prevented during engagement of the clutch () by restricting the output torque of the engine () over a predetermined period of time.
