Abstract
Hydraulic gear shift controllers to effect change of transmission gearing are controlled by means of a spool valve having a slider spool located in the bore of a housing, preferably axially aligned with a pressure limiting spool valve. A kick-down hydraulic control line is rapidly activated by an electrical controller which admits pressurized fluid to an end face of the spool, communication of the kickdown pressure control line with the main pressure controller being effected through a blind bore of the main slider spool, and cross bores formed therein to provide rapid control in dependence on electrical signals representative of an engine operating parameter, such as engine speed, or throttle position, and to apply a bias pressure on the slider spool.
