Abstract
A hydraulic control system for an automatic transmission including a fluid coupling type torque converter, and a gear system provided with two or more frictional devices adapted to establish two or more speed conditions. The hydraulic control system includes a hydraulic pressure source, a line pressure control valve receiving pressure from the hydraulic pressure source to generate a regulated line pressure, a throttle pressure control valve for generating a throttle pressure commensurate with the intake throttle opening, a governor pressure control valve for generating a governor pressure commensurate with the vehicle speed, a detent regulator valve receiving the line pressure to generate a regulated detent pressure, a manual valve for enabling manual shifts of the transmission, two or more shift valves for shifting the paths of the line pressure to the frictional engaging devices in response to the opposingly acting forces of the throttle pressure and governor pressure, the shift valves including one shift valve operative to establish the highest speed ratio for the transmission, and a control valve provided in the shift valve for the highest speed ratio and adapted to draw in the…
