Abstract
A control unit that is not subjected to any external force except its own weight until completion of assembly, and is easily mounted to an automatic transmission. A connector facing an inside connector provided inside an automatic transmission is provided at a lower end of a unit main body, and another connecter exposed to the outside of the automatic transmission is provided at an upper end of the unit main body. The unit main body includes a control device such as a microcomputer for controlling the automatic transmission. The unit main body is guided by a moving-side guide portion formed in a lower part thereof and protrusions provided as a fixing-side guide portion, thereby connecting the lower end connecter to the connector. The automatic transmission and the unit main body are sealed by a flange and a packing of a sealing mechanism portion. The flange covers from above a through hole for inserting the unit main body of the automatic transmission therein.
