Abstract
A hydraulic control apparatus for a vehicle power transmitting system having a continuously variable transmission having a first and a second shaft, a pair of variable-diameter pulleys provided on the shafts, a belt connecting the pulleys, and two hydraulic actuators for changing diameters of the pulleys. The apparatus includes a directional control valve for supplying a fluid from a pressure line to one of the two actuators while discharging the fluid from the other actuator, a first fluid passage connected to the directional control valve, for primarily supplying the fluid from the pressure line to a driving side actuator of the two actuators which is provided on a driving one of the first and second shafts, a second fluid passage connected to the directional control valve, for primarily supplying the fluid from the pressure line to a driven side actuator of the hydraulic actuators, and a flow restrictor for restricting a flow of the fluid through the first fluid passage so that a fluid flow resistance of the first fluid passage is higher than a fluid flow resistance of the second fluid passage.
