INHIBITING HIGH SPEED DIRECTIONAL SHIFTS BASED ON WHETHER CONTROLLED THROTTLE SHIFTING IS ENABLED OR DISABLED

Abstract:

A transmission control system for a machine is disclosed. The transmission control system may determine whether engine speed regulation during gear shift is enabled or disabled for the machine. The transmission control system may select a speed threshold, for inhibiting a high speed directional shift of the machine, based on whether the engine speed regulation during gear shift is enabled or disabled for the machine. The transmission control system may compare a speed of the machine and the speed threshold, and may selectively inhibit the high speed directional shift for the machine based on comparing the speed of the machine and the speed threshold.
