Abstract

A hydraulic control system comprises a line pressure regulator valve which uses a spring has non-uniform spring rate. A spring is compressed between a pressure regulating element and a member movable responsive to a reduction ratio between drive and driven pulleys. A length of the spring is varied by the member with variation in the reduction ratio. The line pressure regulator valve generates a line pressure having non-linear characteristic with respect to the variation in the reduction ratio.
