A high acceleration time shift control apparatus and method for a vehicle is provided. The high acceleration time shift control apparatus includes a transmission which achieves plural shift speeds whose gear ratios are different from each other; and a high acceleration time upshifting control device which changes a shift speed of the transmission to a higher speed based on a predetermined determination rotational speed such that an input rotational speed of the transmission substantially reaches a target maximum rotational speed when a request for high acceleration is made by a driver. The high acceleration time upshifting control device outputs an upshift command for performing an upshift when the determination rotational speed reaches a predetermined shift determination speed; calculates an actual ineffective time until shifting is actually started and the input rotational speed starts decreasing after the upshift command is output; computes a virtual maximum rotational speed, that is a maximum rotational speed when the input rotational speed changes at a reference rotational speed change rate, based on the input rotational speed when the upshift command is output, the ineffective time and the predetermined reference rotational speed change rate; and changes the shift determination speed such that the virtual maximum rotational speed comes close to the target maximum rotational speed and then performs learning.

When it has been determined that control for a predetermined upshift has been started while an accelerator pedal was not being depressed, and that a factor that changes an input torque of an automatic transmission has been generated, an engaging pressure of a predetermined hydraulic frictional engagement device is corrected by a correction amount in accordance with the factor that changes the input torque. As a result, undershooting of an engine speed, as well as shift shock which results from that undershooting, is able to be preferably suppressed.
