Abstract
A hydraulic control system for an automatic transmission including a shift gear mechanism having a plurality of frictional elements to be selectively actuated for switching a power transmitting path to establish a desired shift stage, a manual valve for manually selecting a shift range among a plurality of shift ranges providing predetermined shift stages, a 1-2 shift valve for making a shift operation between a first stage and a second stage, a 2-3 shift valve for making a shift operation between the second stage and a third stage, a low stage frictional element for establishing a lower shift stage, a low stage hydraulic circuit for controlling the low stage frictional element by introducing a hydraulic pressure through the manual valve and the 1-2 shift valve, a high stage frictional element for establishing a higher shift stage, a high stage hydraulic circuit for controlling the high stage frictional element by introducing a hydraulic pressure through the manual valve, the 1-2 shift valve and the 2-3 shift valve, the 1-2 shift valve interrupting the introduction of the hydraulic pressure for the low stage hydraulic circuit when the hydraulic pressure is introduced into the high stage hydraulic circuit and introducing the hydraulic pressure to the low stage hydraulic circuit when the introduction of the hydraulic pressure to the high stage hydraulic circuit is interrupted. This enables the engine to prevent an overrun in the low-range. A reliable prevention can be accomplished against the double lock of the high and low stage frictional elements.
