A powershift transmission for a work vehicle includes a speed section. Within the speed section, a speed C clutch is engageable to transfer rotational power from a speed input shaft to a speed countershaft via first and second speed gears, a speed A clutch is engageable to transfer rotational power from the speed input shaft to the speed countershaft via third and fourth speed gears, and a speed B clutch is engageable to transfer rotational power from the speed input shaft to the speed countershaft via fifth and sixth speed gears. A first gear ratio between the first and second speed gears is greater than a second gear ratio between the third and fourth speed gears and a third gear ratio between the fifth and sixth speed gears.

Transmission system for a work vehicle

A clutch assembly for an agricultural work vehicle having a piston slidably disposed within a chamber having a first portion and a second portion. The piston is positionable between a first position and a second position in response to a fluid pressure within the first portion of the chamber to actuate a clutch mechanism. A sealing ring is associated with the piston to substantially prevent flow of fluid between the first portion and the second portion when the piston is in the first position. A bleed assembly is configured to permit flow of fluid between the first portion and the second portion when the piston is in the first position. The bleed assembly allows sufficient flow to substantially prevent unintentional engagement of the clutch mechanism.
