ABSTRACT:
In order to ensure that an adequately high gear ratio (such as top gear) is engaged momentarily before the first gear ratio and thus reduce select shock when a manual selector valve is moved from neutral (N) to drive (D) while simultaneously enabling the provision of a flow restriction required to ensure smooth automatic upshifting, a valve which by-passes the flow restriction is provided. This by-pass valve includes a chamber provided with a drain port which is closed by a device (such as a solenoid valve) responsive to an engine associated with the transmission entering an idling condition. The chamber is supplied line pressure from the manual selector valve when the latter is moved from the N to D position so that when the engine is idling and the N-D select is made, the valve is moved to a position wherein the flow restriction is by-passed and line pressure fed unrestrictedly to the friction elements which condition the transmission to provide high gear ratio slightly before those which produce the first gear ratio. As soon as the engine ceases to idle the chamber is drained, the valve is returned to its normal position, the friction elements which produce the high gear ratio are drained and the flow restriction rendered effective again for normal automatic shifting.
