Abstract
An agricultural vehicle includes an engine, a transmission driven by the engine, and a controller. The controller, in operation, adjusts a gear ratio of the transmission using an algorithm. The algorithm, in operation, performs the following steps: reduce a torque capacity of a first offgoing clutch of the transmission to a first torque target, reduce the torque capacity of the first offgoing clutch to a second torque target while adjusting the torque capacity of a first oncoming clutch of the transmission to a third torque target, such that the gear ratio of the transmission is modified in a first direction, and increase the torque capacity of the first oncoming clutch to a desired torque capacity.
