    Abstract: An adaptive control system/method for an at least partially automated vehicular mechanical transmission system (10) is provided for determining the current value of a control parameter (T.sub.FW) indicative of engine flywheel torque. Engine flywheel torque (T.sub.FW) is determined as a function of the expression gross engine torque (T.sub.EG) is equal to the sum of flywheel torque (T.sub.FW), base engine friction torque (T.sub.BEF), acceleration torque (T.sub.ACCEL) and accessory torque (T.sub.ACCES). Accessory torque (T.sub.ACCES) is determined, when the vehicle is in motion, as a function of engine deceleration rate (dES/dt rate). Flywheel torque (T.sub.FW), or drivewheel torque (T.sub.DW) determined as a function of flywheel torque (T.sub.FW) and drivetrain parameters such as engaged gear ratio (GR), is utilized as a control parameter for controlling shifting of the transmission system.

    Abstract: A fluid operated shift actuator (11) is provided, and is especially suited for use in an X-Y shift mechanism for a change-gear mechanical transmission. The shift actuator includes a piston rod (47), a piston member (87), and a pair of auxiliary pistons (93 and 95), to define fluid pressure chambers (91 and 92). After the piston member (87) and the piston rod (47) have been displaced from neutral in either direction, into a gear engagement position, pressurizing both fluid pressure chambers (91 and 92) will cause the actuator to return to the neutral position (gear disengagement) with substantially less force than that exerted when the actuator moved into the gear engagement position.

    Abstract: This invention provides a common means of coupling an alternative power source to a vehicle's drive wheels which is particularly well suited for use with a countershaft-type transmission. This invention also addresses clutch wear by eliminating the need to engage the frictional clutch to launch the vehicle. This invention also improves the acceleration of the vehicle compared to a typical dry friction clutch launch by relying on a supplemental motor and associated control system to transfer more power to the drive wheels more quickly than would be transferred by a typical launch engagement of a dry friction clutch in a commercial vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicular centrifugally operated master friction clutch (20) for coupling an engine (18) to a transmission input shaft (28). The clutch includes flyweights (110) pivoted to a driving member (60) rotatable with the engine. Rollers (120) fixed to the flyweights act on ramp surfaces (148) to apply an axial clamping force (CF) to friction member of the clutch driving and driven member. The clamping force is applied through a spring compression (132) to limit the magnitude of clamping force.
