An apparatus for controlling an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, which has a first and a second transmission mechanism, and a testing device for testing for a shifting operation which requires shifting actions of both of the first and second transmission mechanisms. The apparatus further has a determining device for determining, based on a rotary member of the second transmission mechanism, that the shifting action of the second shifting mechanism is completed. The determining device determines that the shifting operation of the transmission is completed, at the time when a predetermined time interval has passed after the detemination that the shifting action of the second shifting mechanism is comleted. The point of time at which the completion of the shifting operation is determined may be utilized for various purposes for controlling the transmission.
