PURPOSE:To obtain a constant shift time by arranging both a high load range and a low load range on a shift schedule determined by both vehicle speeds and throttle opening ratios and using an exhaust power brake when engine revolutions decrease due to a gear shift in the high load range. CONSTITUTION:During shift operation, fuel injection amount is varied by changing opening ratios of a governer r...

PURPOSE:To prevent a belt from slipping by arranging a means for performing operation of a thrust ratio expressed by a ratio of a product of a pressure receiving area of an input side disk and an input side oil pressure to a product of a pressure receiving area of an output side disk and an output side oil pressure, and controlling a line pressure so that the thrust ratio comes to a reference valu...

PURPOSE:To improve safety during a downhill start in a reverse gear by preventing sudden start due to instantaneous release of a brake by bringing a brake pedal retention mechanism into inoperative condition when a detection means detects reversing motion even when the operating condition of the retention mechanism is being changed over. CONSTITUTION:A ratchet 4a of an engagement member 4 is made ...

PURPOSE:To save fuel effectively in a captioned transmission gear box of an engine with a fuel-cut mechanism by controlling a speed-change motor to control a speed-change control valve for controlling speed-change ratio at the optimum level in accordance with the car-speed and the load.
