ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a shift control system and method for a vehicle automatic transmission, in which control of a downshift on a downhill road is performed by fuzzy inference. When a vehicle has been determined to be running on a downhill road by a driving state determining device, a speed range setting device sets as an optimal speed range a speed range lower than a current speed range. In the automatic transmission, the state of engagement of a desired engaging element is changed over to achieve the optimal speed range. When the vehicle has been determined to be running on the downhill road by the driving state determining device so that the speed range lower than the current speed range has been set as the optimal speed range and also when no change has been determined in engine load by an engine load detecting device, an engagement state control device reduces engaging force to be produced upon changing over the state of engagement of a desired engaging element for achieving the optimal speed range. This makes it possible to eliminate a sense of incogruity, which would otherwise occur upon shifting to a higher speed range, while assuring a good shifting response.
