Abstract

See full text

A vehicle transmission system having shift levers mechanically linked to couplers for selection of ranges of gear speed ratios and electro-hydraulic powershift clutches for selection of a gear speed ratio within the selected range is provided with controls for avoiding unexpected speeds or speed changes under certain conditions. If the vehicle is moving at start-up as a result of a stall or accidental reset of the microprocessor, and the shift levers have not been moved since the stall or reset, the microprocessor retrieves from a nonvolatile memory an indication of the last selected powershift gear prior to the reset and uses it for the initial powershift gear selection. When an operator depresses a clutch, shifts a shift lever and then changes his mind and shifts the shift lever back to its original position before releasing the clutch above a threshold point, the microprocessor selects the powershift gear in effect at the time the clutch pedal was depressed.
