A hydraulic control device for an automatic transmission, wherein when the first switching valve is switched to the first state while the second switching valve is in the third state, the reverse range pressure applied from the reverse range pressure input port of the second switching valve can be supplied from the first output port to the hydraulic servo for the first friction engagement element via the fourth output port of the second switching valve and the first input port of the first switching valve, and when a shift range is shifted from a neutral range to a reverse range, the second switching valve is in the fourth state, and the first switching valve is switched from the first state to the second state, so that the reverse range pressure applied to the reverse range pressure input port is cut off by the second switching valve.

Hydraulic control device for automatic transmission

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 C, C, C, the remaining other clutch Cis 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 Cand performing control to disengage the clutch Cand to engage a brake Bwith the remaining other clutch Ckept in the engaged state. This facilitates the shifting operation from the direct coupling speed and allows the automatic transmission to respond quickly.
