Abstract
A hydraulic pressure control system for an automatic transmission includes a torque converter, a multiple transmission gear mechanism having a plurality of gear stages and frictional elements for switching power transmitting paths in the transmission gear mechanism, a hydraulic control mechanism for controlling engagement and disengagement of the frictional elements to establish one of the gear stages, and a line pressure control device for controlling line pressure of the hydraulic control mechanism in accordance with a vehicle operating condition. An engine torque detecting device detects an engine output torque, and a turbine speed detecting device detects a turbine speed of the torque converter. A shift condition detecting device detects a shift-up operation and a shift-down operation in the transmission, and the line pressure control device controls the line pressure in accordance with the engine torque in the shift-up operation and the turbine speed in the shift-down operation. A precise line pressure control can be accomplished for obviating torque shock at the time of the shift operation in the automatic transmission.
