  • Patent number: 5747960
    Abstract: A controlled method to automate a power train transmission of a vehicle with a manual gearbox considering all moments of inertia in clutch actuations through dual servomotors, executing controlled up and down gearshifts automatically. The control system encompasses a central microprocessor controller unit that executes functions based on special equations that reflects instantaneous moments of inertia wherein gearshifts are decided based upon the vehicle's instantaneous speed and the increase or decrease of motor RPM, whether it is gas pedal sensed or road inclination derived. A fuel flow control is activated in each gearshift to insure RPM control within the next gear engaging range.
