A control for shifting into a start ratio in a computer-assisted (48) vehicular splitter-type compound transmission (16) having a main section (16A) shifted by a manually operated shift lever (31) and a controller (42). The splitter section (16B) is provided with a three-position (L, H, N) actuator (46) and is commanded to a splitter-neutral position upon sensing a main section shift to neutral, master clutch (14) disengagement and low vehicle speed (OS < REF < 3 MPH) to reduce the inertia of the main shaft assembly and reduce the need for a clutch brake when engaging a start ratio. <IMAGE> |
