Patent ID: 7563198

Claim:
A shift control device of a vehicular automatic transmission that establishes a plurality of gear steps of different speed change ratios by selectively engaging a plurality of friction engagement devices, comprising: a first controller that performs a shift control for causing execution of a downshift through engagement switch between a release-side friction engagement device and an engagement-side friction engagement device; and a second controller that ends the shift control by making an engagement end determination regarding the engagement-side friction engagement device if it has been determined for a predetermined time that an input shaft rotation speed of the automatic transmission is in a vicinity of a synchronous rotation speed of a post-shift gear step, wherein the second controller sets the predetermined time at a first time if the downshift is a power-on downshift due to a shift judgment in a power-on state, and wherein the second controller sets the predetermined time at a second time that is shorter than the first time if the downshift is a power-off→on downshift selected in connection with a change to the power-on state during a power-off shift due to the shift judgment in a power-off state.
