  • Patent number: 9879762
    Abstract: A jump shift of an automatic transmission with multiple shift speeds such as, e.g., ten forward speeds involves operation of many engagement elements. The shifting operation for the jump shift is therefore complicated, making it difficult for the automatic transmission to respond quickly. After shifting to the seventh speed as a direct coupling speed is completed by engaging three clutches C1, C3, C4, the remaining other clutch C2 is also engaged at the seventh speed. In the case of a jump shift, e.g., a shift from the seventh speed to the fifth speed, shifting to the fifth speed is completed by disengaging the clutch C1 and performing control to disengage the clutch C3 and to engage a brake B1 with the remaining other clutch C2 kept in the engaged state. This facilitates the shifting operation from the direct coupling speed and allows the automatic transmission to respond quickly.

  • Patent number: 9765882
    Abstract: The present invention provides a control unit. When the control unit performs shifting from a state in which a first shift speed is established by supplying engagement pressures to both hydraulic oil chambers and engaging a predetermined engagement element to a second shift speed by switching engagement and disengagement states of engagement elements other than the predetermined engagement element (Step S1), the control unit reduces the supply of the engagement pressure to one of the two hydraulic oil chambers to a level lower than that in the state in which the first shift speed is established (Step S3).
