ABSTRACT:
An automotive automatic transmission control system is provided which is designed to increase the output of an engine in response to a driver's request to downshift a transmission for setting up the engine braking and to load the amount of working fluid to an on-coming clutch quickly during the downshift. The system works to determine whether the loaded amount of working fluid is excessive or lacking using the speeds of an input shaft of the transmission and the engine to correct the amount of working fluid to be used upon a subsequent downshift request. The use of the two speeds enables the fact that the loaded fluid amount is excessive which arises from a rise in the speed of the input shaft caused by the engine output increasing control, not by completion of the loading of the working fluid to the on-coming clutch to be found accurately.
