Abstract
A manually shifted, range-type compound transmission (110) is provided with enhanced automatic range shifting. A controller (222) receives input signals indicative of shift lever position in the shift pattern (low range/high range) and of vehicle speed (OS) and automatically commands range shifts as a function of both system parameters.
