Abstract
An automatic transmission for an automotive vehicle is disclosed wherein a shift in gear position is controlled such that a new gear position which the automatic transmission should be conditioned in is determined in response to deceleration which the automotive vehicle is subject to and a present gear position which the automatic transmission is conditioned in, and a downshift is effected in the automatic transmission from the present gear position down to the new gear position. As a result, engine brake running fit to the driver's demand is produced.
