Abstract

An automatic transmission is disclosed wherein an accumulator back-up pressure is variable in response to engine load and also to the progress of a shift taking place. A line pressure solenoid is provided which controls a signal pressure supplied to an accumulator control valve which generates the accumulator back-up valve supplied to an accumulator that is arranged to soften an increase in servo activating hydraulic fluid pressure supplied to a frictional device during the shift.
