PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a speed-change controller of an automatic transmission for vehicles which provides an appropriate speed change range when a manual operator for manually switching a speed change range is pressed down for an extended period by a driver. SOLUTION: When a shift lever (manual operator) 72 for manually switching a speed change range to a low speed side is pressed down for an extended period by a driver, the final speed change range is finally reached when a switching requirement signal is continuously outputted from a down shift switch (selecting switch) 82 during extended pressed-down operation, and is set by a final speed change state setting means 146 according to the travelling state of a vehicle. The actual speed change range is continuously switched by a switching control means 130 until the final speed change range is reached as updated by the final speed change state setting means 146. An appropriate speed change range is easily provided with no requirement for experience with the extended pressed-down operation by the shift lever 72. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
