A pressure medium supply device of a hydraulically actuated shifting element (K1, K2) comprises at least one pressure medium supply duct (1, 2) in communication with a pump (4) and a line (3) for pre-filling of the shifting element. An additional pressure-retaining valve (9, 9′) or a check diaphragm is integrated in the pressure medium supply duct (1, 2), between the shifting element and the shifting element valve (6, 7), and can be closed in the draining direction of the pressure medium supply duct (1, 2). The pressure-retaining valve (9, 9′) is designed such that the shifting element can be drained and the pressure medium supply device can be vented.
