An electro-hydraulic control system for a multispeed transmission having a plurality of torque-transmitting mechanisms includes a controller for operably controlling the transmission, a fluid source for supplying hydraulic fluid, and a plurality of torque-transmitting mechanisms being operably selected between an applied and an unapplied state to achieve a plurality of ranges including at least one reverse, a neutral, and a plurality of forward ranges. The system includes a plurality of trim systems having pressure control solenoids and trim valves. The system may also include one or more shift valves disposed in fluid communication with the fluid source and being capable of moving between stroked and de-stroked positions. In any given range, only two of the plurality of torque-transmitting mechanisms may be applied. Moreover, three of the plurality of pressure control solenoids are normally high solenoids, and the remaining solenoids are normally low solenoids.

Provided is an automatic transmission capable of smoothly switching a switching mechanism. A control part ECU of a transmission recognizes an input torque and a friction torque when an instruction to switch a two-way clutch from a fixed state to a reverse rotation prevention state is received while a first clutch, a second clutch and a third clutch are in an open state, and switches the two-way clutch from the fixed state to the reverse rotation prevention state when the input torque is equal to or greater than the friction torque.

When the stop valve is in a first shifting position, a torque-transferring shift element is sealed tight against the rest of a hydraulic system by a stop valve, such that the actuating pressure enclosed in the shift element remains essentially constant or does not decrease. The stop valve is formed and arranged in the hydraulic system such that the stop valve is held in the first shifting position by the force of a barrier pressure generated by the pump, and, upon a standstill of the pump or falling below a certain value of the pressure generated by the pump, the stop valve is automatically displaceable at least through the action of the trapped shift element pressure into a second shifting position, in which the respective shift element is connected to the rest of the hydraulic system and the shift element is open.

An electromagnetic valve includes a valve compartment inside an end tubular portion of a housing, a valve element provided in the valve compartment and movable to open or close a valve port, a guide member slidably supporting the valve element, a shaft contacting an end of the valve element to move the valve element, and a pressure release passage through which an inner compartment of the valve element communicates with the valve port in a closed state of the valve element.
