A transmission includes an input shaft that couples to a prime mover, twin countershafts and a main shaft having gears coupled thereon, an output shaft that selectively provides a torque output to a driveline, a first shift actuator that selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft. The transmission includes a second shift actuator that couples the main shaft to the output shaft with a selected reduction ratio, and a controller including a vehicle state circuit that interprets at least one vehicle operating condition, and a neutral enforcement circuit that provides a first neutral command to the first shift actuator and a second neutral command to the second shift actuator, in response to the at least one vehicle operating condition indicating that vehicle motion is not intended.

A control device that controls a vehicle drive device in which an engagement device, a rotating electrical machine, and an automatic transmission are arranged in this order from an input side on a power transmission path connecting an input drivingly coupled to an internal combustion engine and an output drivingly coupled to a wheel, the control device including: an electronic control unit configured to operate when starting of the internal combustion engine and downshifting are performed in parallel in a state in which the internal combustion engine is stopped and the engagement device is disengaged so that torque of the rotating electrical machine is transmitted to the wheel.

A vehicle includes a transmission having a torque converter, a device configured to generate line pressure, and at least one fluid path connecting the device in fluid communication with the torque converter. A controller is programmed to, responsive to an engine-off time exceeding a threshold and a parameter indicative of departure being present, command the device to generate line pressure so that fluid is supplied to the torque converter. The device may be a transmission pump or an accumulator.

A controller is a control device for a vehicle including an engine, an automatic transmission, and an oil pump and executes a sailing stop control that stops the engine and brings the automatic transmission into a neutral state when a sailing stop condition is satisfied. The controller cancels the sailing stop control to start the engine when a road inclination becomes larger than a predetermined value during the sailing stop control.

A control method of a continuously variable transmission includes supplying oil pressure to a secondary pulley oil chamber by a source pressure oil pump, and controlling a flow of oil into and from a primary pulley oil chamber by an electric oil pump arranged in an oil passage between the primary pulley oil chamber and the secondary pulley oil chamber. After start-up of the source pressure oil pump, an operation of the electric oil pump is restricted until the oil is filled in the oil passage on the secondary pulley oil chamber side of the electric oil pump. The operation of the electric oil pump is permitted when rotation speed of the electric oil pump reaches a predetermined rotation speed.

A vehicle includes a transmission having a torque converter, a device configured to generate line pressure, and at least one fluid path connecting the device in fluid communication with the torque converter. A controller is programmed to, responsive to an engine-off time exceeding a threshold and a parameter indicative of departure being present, command the device to generate line pressure so that fluid is supplied to the torque converter. The device may be a transmission pump or an accumulator.

A work vehicle has a hydraulic source; a control valve that controls a flow of the hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic source; and an engine starting device for starting an engine, in which a control device has: a low-temperature state determination unit that determines whether a temperature state of a working fluid of a torque converter is a low-temperature state; and a clutch control unit that when it is determined by the low-temperature state determination unit that the temperature state of the working fluid is not the low-temperature state, controls the control valve in order to switch a lock-up clutch to a non-engagement state, and when it is determined by the low-temperature state determination unit that the temperature state of the working fluid is the low-temperature state, controls the control valve in order to switch the lock-up clutch to a engagement state.

A control device is provided for a motor vehicle having an electronically controllable automatic transmission, an electronic transmission selector lever and an electronic control unit. The control unit, which may be the transmission control unit, has a car wash functional module such that, after activation of the car wash functional module, the following steps are permitted at least once and/or at least for a predefined limited time, in each case without activation of the brake pedal: shutting down of the engine in the transmission selector lever position N; a subsequent restart of the engine in the transmission selector lever position N; and a changeover from the transmission selector lever position N to D. The car wash functional module can be activated or deactivated by the driver at his discretion via a display operator control element.

A vehicle drive device includes a control portion that is allowed to execute a control mode that controls multiple hydraulic elements to cause a vehicle in a stop state of an engine to start moving. The control mode starts controlling part of the multiple hydraulic elements before the engine is started, by using oil pressure accumulated in an accumulator (S8). The control mode starts controlling the rest of the multiple hydraulic elements by using oil pressure that is provided after the engine is started (S16).

Provided is a control device for a vehicle including a first oil pump that is driven by a first drive source driving a drive wheel of a vehicle and configured to supply oil to a hydraulic pressure actuation machine, and a second oil pump that is driven by a second drive source different from the first drive source and configured to supply oil to the hydraulic pressure actuation machine. The control device drives the second oil pump when a start switch of the vehicle is turned on and the first drive source is started for the first time, and drives the second oil pump when the second oil pump is not driven for a first predetermined time after the first drive source is started, and a rotation speed of the second oil pump when the first drive source is started is lower than a rotation speed of the second oil pump after the first drive source is started.
