Publication number: 20150247569Abstract: A transmission controller judges whether or not there was performed a specific shift operation where the mode of a transmission is alternately switched between a D-mode and a R-mode, and when it is judged that the specific shift operation was performed and when a forward clutch is engaged, the forward clutch is brought into an engaged state by supplying a hydraulic pressure lower than a lock pressure, with which a locking mechanism is brought into a locked state, to an ON-pressure piston chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2013Publication date: September 3, 2015Applicant: JATCO LtdInventors: Yusuke Nakano, Katsuya Kobayashi, Kouzi Matsumoto, Tomomasa Ikeda
