AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EQUIPPED WITH FRICTION ELEMENT HAVING LOCKING MECHANISM ATTACHED THERETO, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A transmission controller performs engagement processing, where a forward clutch is engaged and a lock mechanism is brought into a locked state by supplying an ON-pressure to an ON-pressure piston chamber and where the hydraulic pressure of the ON-pressure piston chamber is lowered, and supplies the ON-pressure to the ON-pressure piston chamber when the forward clutch slips even though the forward clutch has been engaged in the engagement processing, while a vehicle is traveling.
