Abstract

A countershaft-type automatic power transmission in which a countershaft gear assembly is operated by a hydraulic control system controlled by electric control means responsive to various operational variables of a vehicle and in which a clutch assembly is operated between the coupled and uncoupled conditions by clutch control valve means which is also controlled by the electric control means, the power transmission further featuring throttle valve control means adapted to move the carburetor throttle valve to a position to produce an idling condition in the engine independently of the accelerator pedal when the clutch assembly is in the uncoupled condition.
