A structure in which a hydraulic-pressure control applied pressure for controlling each engagement element of an automatic transmission is realized by using an electric signal such that combinations of engagement which encounter a tie-up in case of a failure of the signal lead to interlocking are inhibited to prevent deterioration in the durability of each engagement element. An automatic transmission incorporates a planetary gear transmission mechanism using selective engagement of at least five engagement elements to realize six gear ratios, and a hydraulic-pressure control apparatus for controlling the engagement elements of the transmission mechanism. Valves are provided which inhibit combinations of engagement of two or more engagement elements of the five engagement elements for interlocking the transmission mechanism.

Hydraulic pressure control apparatus for automatic transmission

An oil temperature responsive hydraulic control system for an automatic transmission includes a hydraulic servo for applying/releasing a frictional engagement element; a pressure regulator valve for regulating oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo; and a signal pressure oil passage for applying a pressure regulating signal pressure to the pressure regulator valve. A control valve is arranged in the signal pressure oil passage for changing the effective diameter of the signal pressure oil passage responsive to change in oil temperature.

Oil temperature responsive hydraulic control system for an automatic

A hydraulic control system for an automatic transmission to establish a predetermined stage by applying a first frictional engagement element and releasing a second frictional engagement element, comprising: a first hydraulic servo for actuating the first frictional engagement element; a second hydraulic servo for actuating the second frictional engagement element; change-over means for switching the feed of an oil pressure to the first hydraulic servo; signal pressure generating means for generating a signal pressure; and a pressure regulator valve for regulating the pressure to be fed to the second hydraulic servo. The pressure regulator valve includes: a first valve member having a first pressure receiving area to be fed with the signal pressure in one direction; a second valve member arranged coaxially with the first valve member and adapted to come into abutment against the first valve member in the other direction, the second valve member having a second pressure receiving area to be fed with the oil pressure to the first hydraulic servo in the other direction, when the oil pressure is fed by the change-over means; and bias means so disposed at the side of the second valve member axially opposed to the first valve member as to bias the second valve member into abutment against the first valve member.

Hydraulic control system for automatic transmission

A hydraulic control system for an automatic transmission includes a regulator valve in a hydraulic circuit for supplying pressure to a servo of a frictional engagement element. The regulator valve has an input port, an output port and a drain port. A valve member of the regulator valve includes a pressure receiving area fed with a feedback pressure from the portion of the hydraulic circuit between the regulator valve and the servo, and another pressure receiving area selectively fed with pressure from a signal pressure source. A further pressure receiving area, having a surface area different from the another pressure receiving area, is constantly fed pressure from the signal pressure source.

A control system for an automatic transmission includes a first frictional engagement element and a second frictional engagement element; and a first hydraulic servo for controlling the application/release of the first frictional engagement element and a second hydraulic servo for controlling the application/release of the second frictional engagement element. A regulator valve regulates the oil pressure to the first hydraulic servo. A signal pressure is applied to the regulator valve to establish a predetermined gear stage by switching the applied/released states of the first frictional engagement element and the second frictional engagement element by feeding/releasing oil pressure to/from the first hydraulic servo and the second hydraulic servo. The regulator valve includes a valve member having: a first pressure receiving area to which is applied the feed pressure to the first hydraulic servo as a feedback pressure in a first direction; a second pressure receiving area to which is applied the signal pressure in a second direction opposite the first direction; a fourth pressure receiving area to which is applied the feed pressure to the second hydraulic servo in the first direction, in a shift wherein the first frictional engagement element is released while the second frictional-engagement element is applied; and a third pressure receiving area to which is applied the signal pressure in the second direction, for regulation of the oil pressure only during a shift.
