A control system for a transmission engages three clutches to create braking within the transmission to slow a machine during a shuttle shifting operation. The control system may apply the clutches so as to allocate wear between the clutches equally or unequally, as desired. Selon l'invention, un système de commande pour une transmission enclenche trois embrayages afin d'assurer un freinage dans la transmission pour ralentir une machine pendant une opération d'inversion de marche. Le système de commande peut appliquer les embrayages afin d'attribuer une usure entre les embrayages de manière égale ou inégale, selon les besoins.
