Abstract
A transmission includes a controller that has a rapid-deceleration judge and a rapid-deceleration processor. The rapid-deceleration judge judges whether a vehicle is decelerating rapidly or not. The rapid-deceleration processor includes a torque-fluctuation inhibitor, and an after-rapid-deceleration change-speed stage anticipator. The torque-fluctuation inhibitor shuts off power transmission from a power source, or holds power transmission by way of a current change-speed stage or lower, when the vehicle is decelerating rapidly. The after-rapid-deceleration change-speed stage anticipator anticipates a subsequent change-speed stage being adapted for restarting or reaccelerating the vehicle that has come out of rapid deceleration.
