Abstract
A control method of an automatic transmission for an automobile with exhaust brake provided, which includes a control signal given from an exhaust brake control arrangement, if a sensor indicates that the degree of throttle opening is zero and if a judging arrangement indicates that the downshift point is not yet passed over, downshift is performed by an automatic speed change, whereby the engine brake in addition to the exhaust brake is made effective to thereby secure a large braking force.
