Abstract
The transmission control for a vehicle hydraulic transmission includes a sequence control valve that includes a shuttle valve and an interconnected sequence valve which are connected with speed and direction clutches of the transmission. The shuttle valve senses the drop in pressure in the direction clutches when they are shifted to actuate the sequence control valve to initially dump the speed clutch and then to keep that clutch disengaged until the direction clutch has fully re-engaged.
