Abstract
A control system for control of a clutch interposed between a fluid transmission unit and a speed change unit in a vehicular automatic transmission. The control system includes a first R.P.M. detector for detecting clutch input side R.P.M. and a second R.P.M. detector for detecting clutch output side R.P.M. A stop state detector determines if the vehicle is at a standstill and a starting operation detector detects a starting operation by the driver. The hydraulic control unit includes a hydraulic servo for applying/releasing the input clutch, a control signal oil pressure generating solenoid valve for generating a control signal oil pressure, a control valve for regulating a forward running range pressure according to the control signal oil pressure to generate a control oil pressure; a change signal oil pressure generating solenoid valve for generating a change signal oil pressure and a change-over valve switchable by the change signal oil pressure, between a first position in which it feeds the forward running range pressure to the hydraulic servo, and a second position in which it feeds the control oil pressure to the hydraulic servo. A failure is decided if the clutch input/out…
