FLUID CONTROL CIRCUIT

摘要

An automatic transmission has a friction element which induces a certain speed gear of the transmission when hydraulically operated. A fluid control circuit of the transmission comprises an accumulator valve unit which receives a line pressure for regulating a pressure of an operation fluid applied to the friction element in accordance with an engine load; and a shift valve which feeds the line pressure to the accumulator valve unit when assuming a first position and drains the operation fluid when assuming a second position. A flow restriction device is employed in the fluid control circuit for restricting the draining flow of the operation fluid.
