Abstract
A control for shifting from an off-going speed range to an on-coming speed range comprises an off-going range releasing stage, an on-coming range void-stroke-clearing stage, an on-coming range engaging stage and an on-coming range final stage. During the off-going range releasing stage, an off-going engaging element is released in response to a shift command signal. During the on-coming range void-stroke-clearing stage, the engagement-actuation pressure of the on-coming engaging element is set at a predetermined high-pressure for a predetermined time period after the shift command signal is generated, whereby the void stroke of the on-coming engaging element is cleared. During the on-coming range engaging stage, after the completion of the on-coming range void-stroke-clearing stage, the on-coming engaging element is engaged. During the on-coming range final stage, following the on-coming range engaging stage, the on-coming engaging element is engaged completely. In this control, based on the condition of the engaging operation of the on-coming engaging element during the on-coming range engaging stage, the predetermined time period for the on-coming range void-stroke-clearing stage is corrected for a next shift operation.
