Abstract
When the stop valve is in a first shifting position, a torque-transferring shift element is sealed tight against the rest of a hydraulic system by a stop valve, such that the actuating pressure enclosed in the shift element remains essentially constant or does not decrease. The stop valve is formed and arranged in the hydraulic system such that the stop valve is held in the first shifting position by the force of a barrier pressure generated by the pump, and, upon a standstill of the pump or falling below a certain value of the pressure generated by the pump, the stop valve is automatically displaceable at least through the action of the trapped shift element pressure into a second shifting position, in which the respective shift element is connected to the rest of the hydraulic system and the shift element is open.
