Abstract

In one embodiment, a hydraulic pressure control circuit (4) of an automatic transmission includes a mechanical oil pump (MOP) and an electrical oil pump (EOP). The discharge side of the electrical oil pump (EOP) is caused to be in communication with the direct upstream side of a hydraulic pressure servo of a first clutch (C1) via a shunt hydraulic pressure supply passage (430). At the time of idle reduction, a linear solenoid (411) on the upstream side of the first clutch (C1) is caused to enter a forced closure state, thus preventing oil from the electrical oil pump (EOP) from flowing to a manual shift valve (410) side.
