Abstract
An automatic transmission control system for an automotive automatic transmission including a speed sensor for detecting a vehicle speed of the vehicle, a load sensor for detecting a load acting on the driving torque generator, a torque sensor for detecting input torque transmitted to the automatic transmission from the driving torque generator, first working fluid pressure control communicating both a first friction coupling element's unlocking pressure chamber and a second friction coupling element's pressure chamber with the working fluid source in the hydraulic pressure control system for controlling supply of working fluid pressure to and from both the unlocking pressure chambers and a second working fluid pressure control in the fluid path communicating both the first friction coupling element's locking pressure chamber with the working fluid source for controlling supply of working fluid pressure to and from the first friction coupling element's locking pressure chamber. Thereby controlling the second working fluid pressure control such that, until a start of a substantial gear shift period of time from an appearance of the specific gear shift command signal, the level of th…
