In case of a low speed gearing in the automatic transmission, since the torque is increased, it is difficult to secure a good feeling on gear shift of transmission. It is possible to improve the shift feeling on transmission by applying a one-way clutch in case of the gear shift from the first stage to the second stage. But in case of the gear shift from the second stage to the third stage, it is difficult to secure a good feeling on gear shift of transmission because the hydraulic components are directly controlled simultaneously. In this study, a shift performance of an automatic transmission was investigated as a basic study to solve these problems. The subjects of this study are 2-3 step upshifting gearing process and the performance data such as the pressure characteristics and torque of the transmission according to the amount of the throttle valve opening are analyzed on basis of experiment with an actual vehicle. As a result, the transient time of the shift is closely related to the amount of the throttle valve, opening and the time point at which the shifting ends is shortened when the throttle valve opening reaches 30% of the opening amount.
