In a control system for an automotive automatic transmission having a friction element powered by a line pressure, a gear ratio provided by the transmission is measured. An inertial phase keeping time is measured, which is the time for which the transmission assumes an inertial phase. A line pressure adjuster is employed to adjust the line pressure in a manner to harmonize the inertial phase keeping time with a predetermined time. An inertial phase starting time is measured, which is the time elapsed until the inertial phase of the transmission starts. A line pressure increasing device is employed for increasing the line pressure irrespective of condition of the line pressure adjuster when the inertial phase starting time exceeds a first given time. An inhibitor is employed to suppress the operation of the line pressure increasing device in case wherein even when the inertial phase starting time exceeds a second given time longer than the first predetermined time, the change of the gear ratio does not occur.
