Abstract
A control system for an automatic transmission, comprising a gear transmission unit for establishing a predetermined gear stage by applying a plurality of frictional engagement elements selectively. The gear transmission unit includes a main transmission portion capable of establishing at least a reverse gear stage, and an auxiliary transmission portion capable of switching a high gear stage and a low gear stage. The auxiliary transmission portion is set to the high stage at the shifting time to the reverse stage. The reverse stage is established by controlling the application of predetermined frictional engagement elements of the main transmission portion when a reverse stage shifting command is generated. A torque-down of an engine is executed at the time of controlling the engagement of the frictional engagement elements for the reverse stage. The auxiliary transmission portion is set to the high stage by controlling the applications of predetermined frictional engagement elements of the auxiliary transmission portion when the reverse stage in the main transmission portion is detected. A signal to end the engine torque-down is sent when a shift of the auxiliary transmission port…
