Automatic transmission with anti creep device

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6041577

An automatic transmission is described comprising: (a) a fluid coupling; (b) a mechanical transmission mechanism coupled to the fluid coupling, comprising power trains and friction engagement mechanisms. Various ones of the power trains are selectively engageable according to selective supply of actuating fluid pressure to selective ones of the friction engagement mechanisms to provide various speed stages including a lowest speed stage; and (c) a transmission control system comprising: (d) a means for producing a hydraulic pressure representative of engine output; (e) an anti creep valve for varying the actuating hydraulic fluid pressure for one of the friction engagement mechanisms which is engaged; (f) a means for inhibiting the action of the anti creep valve operating to cause the actuating hydraulic fluid pressure for one of the friction engagement mechanisms to be at its high value when the mechanical transmission mechanism is providing one of its speed stages higher than the lowest speed stage; (g) a shifting valve for switching between a pair of adjacent speed stages; (h) wherein the inhibiting means comprises a means for inhibiting the action of the anti creep valve on receiving the certain hydraulic fluid pressure.
