A system and method for controlling a hybrid vehicle having an engine, a traction motor, and an automatic step-ratio transmission having a plurality of selectable discrete gear ratios, a torque converter, and sharing a common cooling fluid or oil with the traction motor, include a controller configured to shift the automatic step-ratio transmission to neutral in response to vehicle speed being below a threshold with the engine idling while temperatures of at least two of: the traction battery, the electric machine, and the transmission are above associated thresholds to reduce heat generation by the torque converter due to oil shear with the torque converter stalled. The controller may shift the transmission to drive in response to release of a brake pedal. A neutral shift may also be performed in response to high-voltage accessory loads or on-board generator loads exceeding a threshold.

An arrangement comprising a motor, a transmission, a transmission control unit and an auxillary use. The motor is rotatably connected to the transmission and the auxillary user. The transmission control unit is designed to determine a torque applied to the transmission by using a parameterisable function, wherein the function maps rotational speeds of the motor to a torque applied to the auxillary user at the rotational speed.

Auxiliary transmission actuation mechanism 200 in a power transmission unit of a vehicle includes a transmission actuating gear 202, a gear driven bush 204, a gear actuating means 206, a shift fork 208, a shift rail 210, a clutch control valve actuating arm 212, a rail shifting means 214. The transmission actuating gear 202 is used to drive at least one of an even shaft and an odd shaft which in turn drives an output shaft through gears thereby propelling the vehicle when at least one of a dual clutch unit and a hydraulic system of vehicle is not functioning. The clutch control valve actuating arm 212 is adapted to engage a movable member of a clutch control valve assembly 100V thereby actuating clutch control valve 100V to de-actuate the dual clutch unit.

A tractor includes an engine, a transmission coupled to the engine, a hydraulic pump driven by the engine, at least one of a tractor implement, attachment, or control moved by the hydraulic pump, a sensor, and a controller coupled to the transmission. The controller is configured to downshift the transmission based on a signal from the sensor.

A vehicle includes an engine, a continuously variable transmission and a torque converter that has a lock-up clutch. The torque converter is arranged between the engine and the continuously variable transmission. The vehicle further includes engine accessories such as an air conditioner compressor and alternator that are driven by the engine. In this vehicle, a slip control is executed that produces a predetermined slip rotational state by controlling a lock-up capacity of the lock-up clutch. During slip control of the lock-up clutch, the engine-equipped vehicle executes cooperative control that suppresses load fluctuations of engine accessories such as the air conditioner compressor and the alternator.
