A control apparatus for an automatic transmission is provided with an automatic gearshift mode and a manual gearshift mode. The control apparatus changes a gearshift characteristic of the automatic transmission in response to a situation where an accelerator pedal opening is smaller than a predetermined opening, so that downshifting occurs at higher vehicle speed than in a situation where the accelerator pedal opening is greater than or equal to the predetermined opening. While the manual gearshift mode is being selected, the control apparatus inhibits change of the gearshift characteristic until downshifting is performed once, and permits change of the gearshift characteristic after downshifting is performed once.
