Abstract
A controller for an automatic transmission which reduces wear of frictional engagement elements and shortens gear change time even when a gear change jump is made. The controller of the present invention includes a first hydraulic servo to which oil is supplied to make a gear change jump, a second hydraulic servo to which oil is supplied to make a gear change to an intermediate gear stage, a limited supply oil circuit having an oil flow limiting element, a quick supply oil circuit bypassing the oil flow limiting element and a pressure governor for regulating a line pressure to supply oil at a controlled pressure to the quick supply oil circuit. An oil path switching valve switches oil supply, to the first hydraulic servo or the second hydraulic servo, between the limited supply oil circuit and the quick supply oil circuit. Accordingly, when a gear change jump is made, oil is supplied to the first hydraulic servo via the quick supply oil circuit and the operating pressure can be increased quickly, so that the gear change time is shortened.
