ABSTRACT:
A control device for an automatic motor vehicle transmission has electrohydraulically actuated gearshift elements which increase the smoothness of shifting during a shifting operation, especially a shifting operation in a traction mode, by varying hydraulic pressure for actuating the gearshift elements. In a first phase of the shifting operation, in which idle travels of the gearshift elements are overcome, the pressure is rapidly made to approach a desired value through the use of a control signal (open-loop control) with a high duty cycle. In a second phase of the shifting operation, in which a transmission input moment changes from the gearshift element of an old gear over to the gearshift element of a new gear, the hydraulic pressure is built up with a high duty cycle. In a third phase of the shifting operation, in which a decrease in engine rpm required to carry out the gear change takes place, through a change in the duty cycle, the hydraulic pressure is first rapidly brought by open-loop control to a desired variable and thereafter is closed-loop controlled.
