ABSTRACT:
An automotive automatic transmission has a hydraulically operated clutch device and an electronic control unit. The clutch device includes drive and driven clutch plates and a piston for pressing the drive and driven clutch plates to establish an engagement therebetween when an oil chamber for the piston is fed with a certain amount of fluid. In order to control the clutch device, the following steps are employed, which are (a) issuing a first instruction signal to the clutch device; (b) feeding the oil chamber with the fluid by an amount which is sufficient for moving the piston from a rest position to a critical position which is ready for effecting the actual pressure against the drive and driven clutch plates; (c) issuing a second instruction signal to the clutch device; and (d) increasing the hydraulic pressure in the oil chamber to cause the piston to instantly establish the engagement between the drive and driven clutch plates.
