A gear transmission (20) includes a plurality of shift gears (36, 37), a plurality of shifters (55, 56) engaged, respectively, with the plurality of shift gears (36, 37), and a shift drum (58) rotatably operated by a stepped speed changing operational tool (66) to operate the plurality of shifters (55, 56), thus being speed-changed in forward three speed stages. The stepped speed changing operational tool (66) is switched to a neutral position, a forward third speed position, a forward second speed position and a forward first speed position in this cited order.

A method for determining an actuating-travel range between two shift-element halves of a form-locking shift element (A, F) during an engagement of the shift element (A, F) and in the presence of a tooth-on-tooth position between the two shift-element halves is provided. An actuating movement of the at least one movable shift-element half with respect to the other shift-element half is monitored by a sensor. A tooth-on-tooth position is detected when it is determined, by the sensor, within an actuating-travel range of the at least one movable shift-element half between a disengaged condition and an engaged condition of the shift element, that the actuating movement of the movable shift-element half in the engagement direction is zero. A ratio between an engagement force applied at the shift element and a radial force acting on the shift-element halves is within a value range, which facilitates a tooth-on-tooth position and an actuating movement of the shift-element half in the engagement direction is detected by the sensor after the reduction of the engagement force and/or after an increase of the applied torque.

Methods and system are described for changing a driveline gear range from a lower gear range to a higher gear range. The driveline may include two electric machines and four clutches in a four wheel drive configuration. The methods and systems permit a driveline to change from a lower gear range to a higher gear range in a way that may reduce torque disturbances that may result from gear lash.

A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. A controller controls the shift actuator utilizing an actuating pulse and an opposing pulse.

A gearwheel (10), in particular a parking interlock gear for a parking lock arrangement, includes an annular body with a radially acting first toothing (2), arranged on the outer circumference of the annular body (1), for the engagement of a locking pawl, an axially acting second toothing (3), arranged on a face end of the annular body and including a plurality of teeth (5) with oblique tooth flanks (5a, 5b), for the engagement of a corresponding axially acting third toothing (42), which includes teeth (44) with oblique tooth flanks (44a, 44b), of a shaft (40). A parking lock arrangement also includes the gearwheel.

A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift control circuit operates a shift actuator using a first opposing pulse command and a first actuating pulse command, and releases pressure with shift actuating and opposing volumes of the shift actuator upon determining a shift completion event.

A control device and a method for controlling a vehicle powertrain to overcome, or avoid, a cog-to-cog condition during gear shifting is provided. The method comprises, when an input shaft of the gearbox is rotating, controlling a synchromesh arrangement so as to induce a difference in rotational speed between a first gear wheel and a first coupling sleeve arranged to lock the first gear wheel to a main shaft of the gearbox by at least partly engaging the first gear wheel or a second gear wheel to the input shaft. Furthermore, a computer program, a computer-readable medium and a vehicle are provided.

A transmission includes a first component and a second component which are journaled for rotation relative to each other, and a locking mechanism for rotationally locking the first component and the second component relative to each other in a predetermined mutual rotation position. The transmission includes a magnetic field sensor arranged for measuring a relative rotation position of the first component and the second component while the first component and the second component are rotating relative to each other.
