Abstract

A control system is provided for servo hydraulic pressure in an automatic transmission having planetary gear mechanisms. First and second frictional engagement devices, whose servo pressures are reversed in feed/drain relationship between desired two high speed stages, are controlled by a shift valve and a directional control valve. The shift valve is switched by a first solenoid. The directional control valve is interposed in a servo hydraulic pressure feed/drain line communicating the shift valve with the first frictional engagement device and is controlled by a second solenoid. The first and second solenoids are controlled by an electronic control unit in accordance with a shift position detected by a detector, whereby the timings of feed or drain of the servo hydraulic pressures to or from the first and second frictional engagement devices are changed by predetermined relative amounts, respectively.
