Abstract
A hydraulic control system of an automatic transmission during a shift operation wherein a control pressure is controlled to selectively engage and release a plurality of frictional elements to establish a desirable shift stage comprising inertia phase detecting device for detecting a starting point of an inertia phase of the shift operation from one shift stage to another, and control pressure reducing device for gradually reducing the control pressure introduced to a frictional element to be engaged after the inertia phase is detected. The torque shock in the shift operation can be effectively reduced.
