Abstract
A method including activating a first clutch assembly to connect a first rotatable member to a rotating final output member until a shift trigger point is reached to provide a rotational speed to the first rotatable member from the final output member. The first clutch assembly is then deactivated. The second clutch assembly that connected a synchronized second rotatable member with the final output member is then deactivated. A third synchronizer engaged with the first rotatable member, and the first clutch assembly is activated to connect the first rotatable member to the final output member.
