ABSTRACT:
A control system for an automatic transmission includes: a clutch adapted to be applied when a forward running range is selected, to transmit the rotation of an engine to the transmission mechanism of a speed change unit and a hydraulic servo for applying/releasing the clutch. A control unit controls oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo and includes: an application starting pressure detector for detecting application starting pressure at the instant when the application of the clutch is started; an initial application pressure setter for setting an initial application pressure on the basis of the detected application starting pressure; and an oil pressure regulator for adjusting the oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo, when a change is made to a forward running range, and then gradually raising that oil pressure. The application starting pressure detected by the application starting pressure detector is the value at which the application of the clutch is actually started, so that the initial application pressure can be properly set even if the actual oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo regardless of the urging force of a return spring or variation in manufacture of the hydraulic control system.
