Abstract
A control method/system for controlling range section (,) shifting in a range-type transmission (,) having a “repeat-H” (,) or “double-H” (,) shift mechanism. Under certain conditions, a shift into an operator-selected target ratio (GR,) is unacceptable and a shift into an alternate ratio (GR,) is implemented. The alternate ratio is a ratio available at an operator-selected main transmission position (1/5, 2/6, 3/7, 4/8) with the range section in a range ratio not selected by the operator.
