Abstract
Abstract A shift control system of an automatic transmission for a vehicle, which includes at least a first transmission and a second transmission, both of which can shift speeds automatically, wherein the first transmission and the second transmission are shifted simultaneously or alternately to achieve multi-speed shifts, an acting force of a frictionally engaging device for switching the second transmission can be properly changed at least in accordance with the types of shifts at the time of switching of the frictionally engaging device, so that, even when any type of shift is performed, the stable shift characteristics having a low shift shock is constantly obtained and no excessive load is applied to the frictionally engaging device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A shift control system of an automatic transmission for a vehicle, comprising: a first transmission and a second transmission, said first transmission including first and second solenoid valves for controlling frictionally engaging devices which can shift speeds of said first transmission independently of said second transmission, and said second transmission including a third solenoid valve for controlling other frictionally engaging devices which can shift speeds of said second transmission independently of said first transmission, wherein said first transmission and second transmission are shifted simultaneously or alternately to achieve multi-speed shiftings; and means for changing an acting force to said frictionally engaging devices of said second transmission at the time of shifting speeds of said second transmission at least in accordance with states of said first transmission.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A shift control system of an automatic transmission for a vehicle, comprising: a first transmission and a second transmission, said first transmission including first and second solenoid valves for controlling frictionally engaging devices which can shift speeds of said first transmission independently of said second transmission, and said second transmission including a third solenoid valve for controlling other frictionally engaging devices which can shift speeds of said second transmission independently of said first transmission, wherein said first transmission and second transmission are shifted simultaneously or alternately to achieve multi-speed shiftings; and means for changing an acting force to said frictionally engaging devices of said second transmission at the time of shifting speeds of said second transmission at least in accordance with states of said first transmission.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A shift control system of an automatic transmission for a vehicle as set forth in claim 1, wherein the acting force at the time of switching of said frictionally engaging device is changed in accordance with engine load in addition to the type of shift.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A shift control system of an automatic transmission for a vehicle as set forth in claim 1, wherein said means for changing an acting force comprises a duty valve for regulating the hydraulic pressure to said frictionally engaging device by duty ratio control.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A shift control system of a automatic transmission for a vehicle as set forth in claim 2, wherein said changing means comprises a duty valve for regulating the hydraulic pressure to said frictionally engaging device which relates to the shift, by duty ratio control.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A shift control system of an automatic transmission for a vehicle as set forth in claim 4, wherein said duty valve further comprises a shift valve.
