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 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. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.

A method for controlling gear shifting, including: acquiring a current gear-shifting parameter of the vehicle (101); according to the current gear-shifting parameter and a preset target rotational speed, determining a gear-shifting inputted rotational speed (102); and when a rotational speed of the vehicle reaches the gear-shifting inputted rotational speed, controlling a shifting fork to start up a gear-shifting operation (103). The method for controlling gear shifting presets the target rotational speed of the gears, and, according to the current gear-shifting parameter of the vehicle that is acquired in real time and the preset target rotational speed, inversely calculates the gear-shifting inputted rotational speed, whereby the gear-shifting inputted rotational speed is an accurate gear-shifting inputted rotational speed that matches with the current condition of the vehicle. When the rotational speed of the vehicle reaches the gear-shifting inputted rotational speed, the shifting fork is controlled to start up a gear-shifting operation, which can realize the accurate gear shifting of the vehicle, which greatly improves the stability of the vehicle when a dual-clutch automatic transmission is performing gear shifting.
