摘要： A drive line assembly for a work machine is disclosed. The drive line assembly includes an engine driving an engine output shaft and an engine speed sensor which generates engine speed signals indicative of a speed of the engine output shaft. The drive line assembly further includes a torque converter driven by the output shaft which drives a transmission input shaft and a transmission speed sensor which generates transmission speed signals indicative of a speed of the transmission input shaft. The drive line assembly yet further includes a transmission driven by the transmission input shaft and having a first speed clutch, a second speed clutch, and a directional clutch, and a controller. The controller is operable to determine a torque converter ratio from the engine speed signal and the transmission speed signal and determine an engine load based on the torque converter ratio. The controller is further operable to control engagement of the first speed clutch, the second speed clutch and the directional clutch based on the engine load. A method controlling a drive line assembly is also disclosed.
