Abstract
In an automatic transmission control system, completion of gear-shifting is detected on the basis of both the rate of change in rotational speed of the output shaft of the torque converter and the rotational speed at which the output shaft of the torque converter is expected to rotate. That is, a rotational speed range within which the rotational speed of the output shaft of the torque converter is expected to fall upon completion of the gear-shifting is determined taking into account the rotational speed of the output shaft of the torque converter upon initiation of the gear-shifting and the gear ratio, and it is determined that the gear-shifting is completed when the rotational speed of the output shaft of the torque converter falls within the predetermined rotational speed range and the rate of change in rotational speed of the output shaft of the torque converter is reduced below a predetermined value.
