A shift control system for an automatic transmission. The shift control system includes an oil temperature sensor, a hydraulic controller to operate a hydraulic clutch, and a control unit in operative communication with the oil temperature sensor and the hydraulic controller. When a gear shift is requested just after an engine restart, the control unit controls the hydraulic clutch with an adjusted shift control process, in contrast to a normal condition of the engine. This adjustment is determined based on a first oil temperature at a time point when the engine is last stopped and on a temperature difference between the first oil temperature and a second oil temperature at a time point when the engine is last restarted after the last engine stop.

Shift control system for automatic transmission

In control apparatus and method for an automatic transmission, an initial hydraulic reference value is calculated which provides a reference value of an initial hydraulic from a shift kind and a throttle opening angle or from the parameter value corresponding to the throttle opening angle and a correction quantity is calculated for the reference value of the initial hydraulic on the basis of squares of a revolution speed of a piston calculated and of the revolution speed of the piston detected, the initial hydraulic reference value being set to the initial hydraulic during the ordinary gear shift and the initial hydraulic reference value being corrected by a correction quantity to set the corrected initial hydraulic reference value to the initial hydraulic when the gear shift to a predetermined target gear shift stage is carried out at a drive point different from during the ordinary gear shift.

Control apparatus and method for automatic transmission

A transmission control system, includes: 1) a high speed side friction element for establishing a high speed side change gear; and 2) a low speed side friction element for establishing a low speed side change gear. After a disengagement of the high speed side friction element, the low speed side friction element makes an engagement for carrying out a downshift from the high speed side change gear to the low speed side change gear. When the downshift is carried out with an accelerator turned off,

Transmission control system of automatic transmission for vehicle

An engine torque estimating apparatus is connected to an automatic transmission and an internal combustion engine. A control unit of the engine torque estimating apparatus is arranged to stop a fuel supply to the engine when a predetermined engine operating condition is satisfied, to estimate a torque generated by the engine using a first map which has defined the torque according to an engine speed and an intake air flow of the engine when the fuel supply to the engine is executed, and to estimate the torque using a second map which has defined the torque according to the engine speed when the fuel supply to the engine is stopped.
