Abstract
A low speed splitter transmission assembly includes a main gearbox and an auxiliary gearbox. The transmission assembly provides a relatively small numerical gear ratio step from the highest numerical gear ratio to the second highest gear ratio. The relatively small step between the highest and the second highest numerical gear ratios allows shifting from the highest numerical gear ratio during movement of the vehicle.
