  • Patent number: 5813941
    Abstract: A manual shift control device of a transmission control system for an automotive automatic transmission. A solenoid feed valve feeds line pressure passing through a pressure regulator valve to first, second and third solenoid valves. A torque control regulator valve changes drive pressure into torque pressure. A control switch valve alternatively feeds torque pressure to first and second torque pressure passages. An N-D control valve sequentially feeds torque pressure and drive pressure to a second friction member, which is applied at an initial shift operation together with a first friction member, to thereby alleviate shift shock from neutral range "N" to drive range "D". A first-to-second speed shift valve feeds part of the torque pressure and part of the drive pressure to a third friction member during a shift operation from the first speed to the second speed.
