The application of a self-adjusted strategy has received increasing attention in current transmission design. This paper proposes a gear injury equilibrium oriented self-adjusted shifting strategy (EASS), which can make injury of different gears consistent. First, the injury value of different gears was judged in real time, and the working time of the gear with the largest injury value was reduced by adjusting the shift curve. Second, by considering key points as constraints, an optimal displacement trajectory for a synchronizer was proposed, and then a compound control method using adaptive nonsingular global fast-terminal sliding-mode control (AN-GFTSMC) was developed, which enables a high tracking performance and a better parameter perturbation rejection ability. Finally, both the simulation and real-vehicle experimental results showed that, compared with conventional control, the designed control strategy had good performance: response time was decreased, gear injury tended to be consistent, and transmission reliability was improved.
