The reengagement control will cause immediate engagement of an engageable ratio, based upon vehicle speed, if the transmission is shifted to neutral and is then unable to engage in the target gear for greater than a predetermined time (REF.sub.2) as vehicle acceleration (dOS/dt) exceeds an acceleration reference value (REF.sub.1).

Abstract: A control system (158) for a multi-speed splitter type change gear auxiliary transmission section (14) of a compound transmission (10) of the type permitting preselection of a selected auxiliary section gear ratio is provided. The control system includes an operator actuated selector valve (160) for selection of a desired auxiliary section gear ratio and for selectively pressurizing or exhausting first (2) and second (3) selectively pressurized and exhausted fluid conduits which are directly fluidly connected to first and second (186 and 184) inlet ports at the remotely located actuator assembly (152). The actuator assembly (152) includes pistons (144 and 150) for assuming at least three selectable positions corresponding to engagement of one of at least three selectable auxiliary transmission section ratios and is enclosed in a valve body housing (170) having enlarged cavities adjacent the inlet ports (182, 184, 186) to define enlarged fluid reservoirs (R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3) in fluid communication with the working surfaces (192, 194, 196, 202, 212) of the pistons.
