Systems and methods for transitioning a hybrid vehicle from park or neutral to drive or reverse are presented. In one example, a requested engine speed is adjusted in response to a transmission disengaging indication and a transmission disengaging timer when a transmission is being disengaged from a gear. In another example, the requested engine speed is adjusted in response to a transmission engaging indication and a transmission engaging timer when the transmission is being engaged to a gear.

A method for operating a transmission (2) of a motor vehicle includes, in order to trigger a gear shift in the transmission (2), determining a trigger speed depending on a response time of the gear shift to be implemented, depending on a gradient of a motor vehicle-side rotational speed, and depending on a maximum permissible limit speed for the motor vehicle-side rotational speed. The gear shift to be implemented triggered on a control side as function of the trigger speed such that the motor vehicle-side rotational speed does not exceed the maximum permissible limit speed during the implementation of the gear shift. The method also include adapting the trigger speed.

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.

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.
