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.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling engine operation in response to a request to shift a transmission gear. In one example, a method may include maintaining operating conditions of an engine and redirecting electric power generated via the engine from a traction motor to a battery in response to a request to shift a transmission while the driveline is operating in a series mode. In this way engine efficiency may be improved and a time frame for shifting a transmission gear may be reduced responsive to a gear shift request while the powertrain is operating in series mode.

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 transmission includes an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft selectively accepting a torque input from a prime mover, and the output shaft selectively providing torque output to a driveline. A controller determines a shaft displacement angle representing an angle value of rotational displacement difference between at least two shafts of the transmission, and performs a transmission operation responsive to the shaft displacement angle.

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 starter-generator device for a work vehicle having an engine. The device includes a gear set for transmitting power, first and second clutches having actuation pins and shiftable relative to the gear set, first and second actuator devices moving armatures only in a first direction, and first and second linkages having a coupling region coupled to the respective armature and a second end coupled to the actuation pin. The first actuator device moves the coupling region and second end of the first linkage in the first direction. The second actuator device moves the coupling region of the second linkage in the first direction and the second end in an opposite second direction. The clutches shift into engaged or disengaged positions by the second end of the respective linkage moving one of the directions, and shift into the other engaged or disengaged position by the second end moving the other direction.

An output axle includes: an axle hole, through which a manual shaft is inserted; an axle pipe portion, at which the axle hole is formed, and an output axle tubular portion, which is located on a side of the axle pipe portion that is opposite to a shift range change device. A magnet holder includes: a holder main body, at which a holder hole to be fitted with the manual shaft is formed; and a seal portion, which is formed integrally with the holder main body in one-piece, while the seal portion is configured to contact an inner peripheral wall of the output axle tubular portion and seal between the magnet holder and the output axle tubular portion.
