Automatic mechanical transmission start control system
This patent describes an automatic mechanical transmission start control system for vehicles having brakes and a throttle controlled engine, the transmission have gear ratio combinations selectively engageable between a transmission output shaft and a transmission input shaft operatively connected to the engine by means of a selectively engageable and disengageable friction coupling, the system including an automatic friction coupling actuating member, a throttle control member, an automatic vehicle brake actuating member, an operator positional change gear selector member, including a neutral position and positions in which the gear ratio combinations are selectively engaged, and an information processing unit having means for receiving. It comprises: an input signal indicative of the position of the throttle control member or of the amount of fuel supplied to the engine; an input signal indicative of vehicle speed; an input signal indicating when the transmission is in neutral, the processing unit including means for processing the input signals and providing an output signal therefrom such that, when the vehicle speed signal is less than a predetermined value.
