When conducting power-on shift by a clutch-to-clutch in an automatic transmission (48), friction control is unstable, and theoretically, torque transition is impossible when gear is downshifted. Also, so-called skip shift, i.e., the transmission between the transmission gears on the same clutch shaft cannot be done. Conducting active transmission by means of a motor (30) enables up-shift and/or do...
