System and method for transmission with creeper mode selection

A method for selecting a mechanical creeper mode for a transmission of a work vehicle, the transmission including one or more range modes having one or more synchronizers driven by an electrohydraulic circuit, the method comprising:

• observing a position of a creeper mode selection lever with a sensor;
• determining, with a processor, a movement of the creeper mode selection lever based on signals from the sensor;
• and
• outputting, with the processor, one or more control signals to the electrohydraulic circuit to direct a flow of hydraulic fluid to position the one or more synchronizers in a range neutral mode based on the movement of the creeper mode selection lever.

A mechanical creeper mode selection system for a transmission of a work vehicle, the transmission including one or more range modes having one or more synchronizers driven by an electrohydraulic circuit, the system comprising:

• a creeper mode selection lever movable by an operator in a gate to select a creeper gear range, the gate including at least a high creeper detent, a low creeper detent and a creeper neutral detent;
• a sensor coupled to the housing that observes a position of the creeper mode selection lever in the gate and generates sensor signals based thereon;
• and
• a controller that processes the sensor data to determine a movement of the creeper mode selection lever in the gate and outputs one or more control signals to the electrohydraulic circuit to position the one or more synchronizers in a range neutral mode based on the movement of the creeper mode selection lever from the creeper neutral detent.
