A vehicle control device including a multi-speed transmission switching gear shift positions in accordance with a combination of hydraulic friction engagement devices operations and pressure control solenoid valves, the control device shifting gears by providing a shift output signal including a quick-apply signal to the valves after a first time from a shift request, the control device has: a pulsation drive control portion to control selectively pulsating the pressure control solenoid valves in a cycle; and a quick-apply control prohibiting portion to prohibit a provision of a quick-apply control using the quick-apply signal for a second time from a time of termination of the pulsation drive control, and to permit the provision of the quick-apply control after the elapse of the second time, for a valve having undergone the control, the pulsation drive control portion to terminate the control for a valve when the shift request is made.

A device includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder. The inner cylinder has a radial face including a first set of curved structures. The outer cylinder has an axial face including a second set of curved structures. A coupling is formed in response to a section of the outer cylinder disposed to surround a portion of the inner cylinder and the first set of curved structures of the inner cylinder disposed to interlock with the second set of curved structures of the outer cylinder.

A piston system comprises a housing (3) comprising a first recess (6) and a second recess (7). A first piston (1) comprises a first portion embedded in the first recess (6). A second piston (2) comprises a second portion embedded in the second recess (7). An actuator (10) has a first side (20) and a second side (21). The first piston (1) selectively presses against the first side (20) of the actuator, and the second piston (2) selectively presses against the second side (21) of the actuator. The actuator may be a synchronizer of a clutch assembly.
