Abstract

A partially automated mechanical transmission system (92) includes a splitter-type compound transmission (10) and controls for automating splitter shifting upon manual selection of the highest main section ratio position (ninth/tenth). Logic is provided to provide an optimized response to manual shifting into main section neutral from the highest main section ratio position.
