An automatic transmission includes a fluid-pressure differential cylinder for select operation of the transmission and a fluid-pressure differential cylinder for shift operation of the transmission, each of the differential cylinders being built up into one block and joined with the mating differential cylinder with intake and discharge holes in one block held in communication with intake and discharge holes, respectively, in the other block. A piston rod of each of the differential cylinders has an annular groove and a cylinder block is provided with a locking member engageable with the groove to provide a reference position for the piston rod.

Automatic transmission

An automatic gear change device includes a first actuator operation control circuit for controlling the operation of a first actuator, a second actuator operation control circuit for controlling the operation of a second actuator, and a main control circuit for controlling the operation of the first and second actuator operation control circuits. The device further includes a communication line interconnecting the first and second actuator operation control circuits to thereby enable data transmission/reception between each operation control circuit and the main control circuit through the other actuator operation control circuit and the communication line.
