Abstract

Each corresponding one of a plurality of friction arrangements, which is driven in an engaging direction to achieve engagement at time of next gear shift to transmit torque, is selected as a standby friction arrangement that is placed in a standby state for implementing the next gear shift. A standby oil pressure for sliding each corresponding one of the plurality of drive pistons, which drives the corresponding standby friction arrangement, is applied to the corresponding drive piston within a range that does not cause transmission of the torque through the corresponding standby friction arrangement before the next gear shift.
