Abstract:
1. A hydraulic control apparatus of an automatic transmission for shifting a transmission ratio with the combination of hydraulic pressures applied to/released from a plurality of frictional engagement elements, the apparatus comprising: a manual valve for introducing a line pressure thereto from an oil pump and switching an outlet port of the line pressure in accordance with shift positions of a manual lever so that when a manual spool of the manual valve is located at positions respectively corresponding to the drive position and the reverse position of the manual lever, the line pressure is output to destinations different from each other, respectively; a control valve for introducing the line pressure output from the manual valve thereto so as to output a control hydraulic pressure by adjusting the line pressure; a plurality of shift valves for shifting the oil flow passage between the control valve and a first engagement element or a second engagement element in accordance with the respective positions of shift valve spools; a plurality of on-off solenoid valves for introducing the line pressure output from the manual valve thereto as well as for controlling the position of the respective shift valve spools of the shift valves by applying/releasing the line pressure in accordance with on/off of an electric current supply; and an electronic control unit having a plurality of on-off patterns accommodated therein, which define combination of the on/off of the electric current supply for each of the on-off solenoid valve, for controlling the on/off of the electric current supply of the on-off solenoid valves, wherein among a plurality of the on-off patterns of the electronic control unit, a on-off pattern during a first garage shifting when the manual spool is switched from the neutral position to a drive position by the operation of the manual lever is the same as that during a second garage shifting when being switched from the neutral position to the reverse position, and wherein the control valve controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the first engagement element during the first garage shifting while controlling the hydraulic pressure applied to the second engagement element during the second garage shifting.
