Abstract
In a control apparatus for an automotive continuously variable transmission having a forward-reverse selector mechanism in which a gear ratio for reverse is set closer to a speed reducing side than a gear ratio for forward and a belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism, a PH pressure that is outputted from a first regulator valve and a PL pressure that is outputted from a second regulator valve are changeably supplied to one and the other of a hydraulic cylinder of a drive pulley and a hydraulic cylinder of a driven pulley via a shift control valve. A hydraulic pressure supplied to a reversing hydraulic pressure connecting element from a reversing manual valve is inputted into an oil chamber of a first regulator valve so that the PH pressure is increased with the hydraulic pressure so inputted.
