    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for heating a transmission (1) for a working machine having a plurality of hydraulically actuated shifting elements (8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13). The method involves the sending (III) of a closing signal for closing shifting elements (8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13) in order to block the transmission (1). In addition, the method entails pulsed actuation (V) for opening and closing of at least one of the closed shifting elements (8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13) while the transmission (1) remains blocked. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a control unit which is designed to carry out such a method, and to a transmission for a working machine with such a control unit.

    摘要: A transmission is between a drive aggregate and a drive output of a vehicle drivetrain and includes a hydrodynamic starting element and a powershiftable main transmission having a plurality of forward gears and at least one reversing gear. The main transmission has frictional shifting elements, where in each gear a first number of shifting elements are closed and a second number of shifting elements are open. A downstream range group is connected downstream from the main transmission and has at least one interlocking shifting element that can be shifted between first a second driving ranges. With the drive aggregate running, the motor vehicle at a standstill or nearly so, and the main transmission in neutral, a shift request to change the downstream range group is received. The shifting elements of a reversing gear are at least partially closed, and the driving range of the downstream range group is then changed.
