Abstract
A vehicular automatic transmission (AT) hydraulic controller has an integrated valve. The integrated valve has a cylindrical cam shaft including convex and concave parts on the outer periphery thereof, and the integrated valve is connected to a motor for automatic control and a connecting part which is interlocked with an external gearshift operated by a driver. Hydraulic control of the integrated valve can be performed in two different ways, i.e., automatic control and manual control, and even if automatic control malfunctions due to an error, manual control can maintain the control of the AT and avoid any inconvenience. The structure of this integrated valve provides a high degree of design freedom and can implement a wide variety of AT functions. Accordingly, a light, compact and reliable AT equipped with both an automatic control mechanism and a manual control mechanism can be provided.
