ABSTRACT:
A direct coupling clutch controller interposed between a direct coupling clutch in a torque converter of an automatic transmission and a hydraulic pressure source for temporarily disconnecting the direct coupling clutch whenever the transmission shifts gears. The controller is particularly suitable for transmissions having four or more gear stages, and includes a valve having a first and a second switching position where the pressure source is connected to the clutch. As the valve moves between the positions, the connection is interrupted. The valve is pilot operated by the transmission controller.
