Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for controlling cylinder pressure producing piston displacement for actuating a control element of an automatic transmission during a gearshift, includes (a) applying boost pressure to the to the control valve controlling the piston, provided one of the following conditions is present a boost phase is unexpired, cylinder pressure is less than a desired pressure, and piston displacement exceeds a desired displacement; (b) applying stroke pressure to the cylinder provided piston displacement away from control element plates occurs; and (c) increasing stroke pressure provided piston displacement away from clutch plates has not occurred.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for controlling pressure applied to a piston that actuates a control element of an automatic transmission during a gearshift, comprising: (a) applying boost pressure to a valve controlling the piston provided one of the following conditions is present: a boost phase of the gearshift is unexpired, such pressure is less than a desired pressure, and displacement of the piston exceeds a desired displacement; (b) applying stroke pressure in the v…
