Abstract: An automatic engine stop/restart-type vehicle and control method determine whether a vehicle is in a non-running range. The vehicle comprises: an engine; a transmission, an oil pump and a controller. The transmission has a coupling element that transmits an output torque of the engine. The oil pump supplies a hydraulic pressure to the transmission. The controller controls an output from the engine; controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the transmission; and determines whether the engine is in an automatic stop state when a manually set mode of the transmission is shifted from a non-running range to a running range. A hydraulic pressure compensation procedure is performed to conform friction coupling characteristics of the coupling element and input characteristics of the transmission with each other if the controller determines that the engine is in the automatic stop state.

Abstract: A method for controlling gear shifting of a transmission in a vehicle. The transmission is supplied with electric power from a battery or an alternator and drives an actuator to shift gear ranges of the transmission. The transmission has an output shaft that becomes difficult to rotate if a predetermined range is selected when the engine stops running. The method includes determining whether a gear range differing from the predetermined range is selected when the vehicle stops traveling, and forcibly shifts the gear range to the predetermined range when a gear range differing from the predetermined range is selected by driving the actuator with electric power supplied from the alternator.

Abstract: A compact automatic transmission for a vehicle capable of preventing increase in relative rotational speed between shift elements. A planetary gear unit is provided with a sun gear to which rotation of an input shaft is input, a carrier that can be stopped from rotating, and a ring gear for outputting, to a planetary gear set, rotation that is reduced in speed relative to that of the input shaft. A clutch is connected/disconnected, the input shaft and the sun gear are appropriately connected/disconnected, and the carrier is appropriately stopped/unstopped by a brake and a one-way clutch. This prevents relative rotational speed between shift elements of the gear unit that does not participate in a shifting operation from excessively increasing. When the clutch is disposed between the input shaft and the sun gear, the torque capacity of the clutch can be reduced as compared with the case where it is disposed between the gear unit and the gear set. Therefore, the clutch can be formed into a more compact structure and the overall automatic transmission can be made more compact.

Abstract: A control system for an automatic transmission, comprising a gear transmission unit for establishing a predetermined gear stage by applying a plurality of frictional engagement elements selectively. The gear transmission unit includes a main transmission portion capable of establishing at least a reverse gear stage, and an auxiliary transmission portion capable of switching a high gear stage and a low gear stage. The auxiliary transmission portion is set to the high stage at the shifting time to the reverse stage. The reverse stage is established by controlling the application of predetermined frictional engagement elements of the main transmission portion when a reverse stage shifting command is generated. A torque-down of an engine is executed at the time of controlling the engagement of the frictional engagement elements for the reverse stage. The auxiliary transmission portion is set to the high stage by controlling the applications of predetermined frictional engagement elements of the auxiliary transmission portion when the reverse stage in the main transmission portion is detected. A signal to end the engine torque-down is sent when a shift of the auxiliary transmission portion to the high stage is detected.

Abstract: A hydraulic control circuit for an automatic transmission which has a plurality of hydraulic type frictional engagement elements for switching gear stages and a lockup clutch juxtaposed to a hydraulic power transmission device for transmitting engine power to the gearing. The hydraulic control circuit includes a lockup relay valve for switching oil pressure between an application side oil chamber and a release side oil chamber of the lockup clutch to apply and release the lockup clutch and a lockup switching valve for switching the lockup relay valve. A lockup control valve functions to increase the pressure difference between the application side oil chamber and the release side oil chamber at the time of application of the lockup clutch, as a signal pressure rises. A transient pressure control valve controls the transient pressure of a hydraulic frictional engagement element in accordance with the signal pressure. A single linear solenoid valve regulates the signal pressure fed both to the lockup control valve and to the transient pressure control valve. A signal pressure relay valve has a first output port connected to the lockup control valve and a second output port connected to the transient pressure control valve. The signal pressure relay valve is switched by first and second relay pressures to selectively switch the destination of the signal pressure which is regulated by the linear solenoid valve. When the signal pressure is fed to the accumulator control valve, a modulator oil pressure is fed to the lockup control valve.
