Abstract

An engagement-actuation control for a frictionally engaging element to establish a driving range in response to a shift command to shift from a neutral range to the driving range comprises a plurality of control stages including an invalid-stroke-clearing control. This invalid-stroke-clearing control is finished when invalid-stroke clearing is judged complete on the basis that the absolute value of the rate of rotational change of a turbine shaft is equal to or greater than a predetermined rate and that the difference between the rotational speed of an engine and the rotational speed of the turbine shaft is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.
