CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN INFINITELY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION

摘要

A control system for an infinitely variable transmission has a transmission ratio control valve having a spool for controlling oil supplied to a cylinder of a drive pulley to change the transmission ratio. The deceleration rate of the motor vehicle contianing the system is detected to produce a deceleration signal. By controlling the oil pressure supplied to the transmission ratio control valve in accordance with engine operating conditions and the deceleration signal, the spool is shifted such that downshifting speed is increased with increasing deceleration.
