Abstract
A controller for the hydraulic clutch of two speed auxiliary transmission connected in series with the main transmission and engine of a vehicle wherein the hydraulic clutch is applied for the higher speed drive and released for the lower speed drive which is through a one-way clutch that overruns in the higher speed drive operation. The controller is responsive to engine throttle opening to apply the hydraulic clutch for throttle openings below a predetermined amount to allow braking of the vehicle by the engine during deceleration rather than coasting by the overrunning of the one-way clutch.
