Abstract
A control system for an automatic transmission has a shift gear mechanism with a plurality of frictional elements, including a low reverse brake which is selectively actuated for switching a power transmitting path to establish a desired shift stage. A hydraulic control circuit controls supply of a hydraulic fluid to and relief of the fluid from an actuator for the frictional element. An accumulator is provided in a hydraulic passage communicated with the low reverse brake for obviating a shock as the low reverse brake is engaged. Back pressure of the accumulator is controlled when a first shift gear stage is established through the engagement of the low reverse brake. A torque shock can be suppressed when the first stage is established in an L-range.
