Abstract
Abstract A transmission for a vehicle has a shift mechanism, a hydraulic actuator for operating the shift mechanism and a hydraulic control for supplying and discharging working oil to and from the hydraulic actuator to control the shift of the shift mechanism. The hydraulic control includes a flow regulating valve for regulating flow of the working oil supplied to the hydraulic actuator, as a function of pressure of the working oil supplied to the hydraulic actuator.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
254 words
A control device of a transmission for a vehicle comprising: a shift mechanism connected between a first and a second hydraulic servo of the transmission to supply a line pressure to the first hydraulic servo and to discharge a line pressure to the second hydraulic servo, an orifice control means provided between the shift mechanism and the first hydraulic servo for supplying a line pressure to the first hydraulic servo, a first passage having an orifice provided between the shift mechanism and the orifice control means to supply a line pressure in the first passage to the first hydraulic servo through said orifice control means, a second passage provided between the shift mechanism and the orifice control means to supply a line pressure thereto through the orifice control means, and a third passage provided between the orifice control means and the first hydraulic servo to supply a line pressure thereto through the orifice control means, said orifice control means having a spool, a spring, a first and a second port connected to the first passage, a third port connected to the second passage, and a fourth port connected to the third passage, whereby the first passage is connected to the third passage when an oil pressure between the orifice and the first port in the first passage is lower than a set pressure and the second passage is connected to the third passage when the oil pressure between the orifice and the first port in the first passage is higher than the set pressure.
