Abstract:
1. A method of actuating a component of a transmission assembly, the component being actuatable by a plurality of actuators, the plurality of actuators being controllable by a control unit, the control unit activating at least one selected actuator of the plurality of actuators with an output signal, the at least one selected actuator of the plurality of actuators being activated to actuate the component and adjust a status parameter of the actuated component, the method comprising the steps of: selecting, with the control unit, the at least one selected actuator from the plurality of actuators, transmitting the output signal, from the control unit to the at least one selected actuator of the plurality of actuators to actuate the component of the transmission assembly, and selecting the at least one selected actuator, with the control unit, from the plurality of actuators, based on a comparison of relative duration of prior utilization of each of the plurality of actuators so as to uniformly actuate each of the plurality of actuators during utilization of the transmission.
