Abstract
A multi-functioning hydraulic transmission control circuit in which a shifting power is provided by hydraulic pressure. The multi-functions including full resetting of the parts at the beginning of each shift, also including, according to some variations hereof as disclosed, a constant rate of rise irrespective of cylinder leakage make-up through the fill orifice and irrespective of graduality of the pressure rise desired, and additionally including a lesser and a least gradual pressure rise afforded during respective second and third speed upshifts, are all accomplished by and among a pair of direction-selector and orificed-speed-selector valve spools connected to the transmission clutch cylinders to direct valve fluid output thereto selectively, and also 1st, dump valve 2d, simulated clutch piston, 3d, load piston, 4th, modulator valve, and 5th, interacting spring parts collectively providing said directed valve fluid output, all in a valve bore common thereto, and arranged therein with the dump valve part confronted at one side by the simulated clutch piston part so as to define mutually therewith a differential pressure chamber in the bore, and confronted at the other side by f…
