ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic circuit for an automatic transmission operable to reduce time delay in shifting includes a source supplying pressurized fluid through a feed orifice and a charging circuit including an accumulator. The accumulator is downstream of the feed orifice, and operates to reserve pressurized fluid supplied by the source. The hydraulic circuit also includes a clutch circuit, downstream of the charging circuit, which has a clutch hydraulically actuated and operable to generate torque to shift the automatic transmission. A valve is interposed between the charging circuit and the clutch circuit to open a flow path therebetween to start a shift cycle of the clutch. When the valve is actuated, the pressurized fluid is released from the accumulator and flows to the clutch circuit to minimize delay in the shift.
