What makes tranny to shift??

Would somebody tell me how does transmission up shifts. Please don't refer me bowden cable. Ok lets work out this way with an example;

Assume a car is standing still on top of a mountain, and you start moving it downhill without throttle but engaging the transmission (in D). You are not touching the throttle but car is accelerating (because of gravity) and upshifting. Now what is causing it to upshift???
