Abstract
A control for shifting into a start ratio in a computer-assisted ( ) vehicular splitter-type compound transmission ( ) having a main section ( A) shifted by a manually operated shift lever ( ) and a controller ( ). The splitter section ( E) is provided with a three-position (L, H, N) actuator ( ) and is commanded to a splitter-neutral position upon sensing a main section shift to neutral, master clutch ( ) disengagement and low vehicle speed (OS<REF<3 MPH) to reduce the inertia of the main shaft assembly and reduce the need for a clutch brake when engaging a start ratio.
