The means for transmitting the signal from the control device to the controlled devices includes a computer that is programmed for moving the throttle of the engine to neutral when a shift is being made and for limiting the speed of the engine in reverse. In addition, and emergency deceleration device is provided for rapidly closing the throttle and shifting the transmission into the opposite direction for emergency deceleration. An improved starter arrangement is incorporated wherein the transmission is moved to neutral upon initiation of a starting sequence and the started is cranked for only a predetermined time interval to prevent overheating.
