Abstract
A control system includes a pressure control solenoid and a flow control solenoid having an input in fluid communication with the pressure control solenoid. A piston adjusts a position of a shift fork and includes a first area in fluid communication with the pressure control solenoid and a second area in fluid communication with the flow control solenoid. A fork sensor senses a position of a shift fork. A flow determining module determines a fork velocity for the shift fork, adjusts the fork velocity to generate an adjusted fork velocity based on the position, and generates a flow command for the flow control solenoid based on the adjusted fork velocity. A pressure determining module generates a pressure command for the pressure control solenoid. The shift fork is at least one of moved from a sync position to an engaged position and from an engaged position to a neutral position.
