Clutch torque trajectory correction to provide torque hole filling during a ratio upshift
First Claim
1. A transmission comprising:
- an input shaft;
an output shaft;
a first and second clutch actuated during an upshift between discrete gear ratios, wherein the first clutch is locked during a torque phase of the upshift; and
an actuator that modulates torque capacity of the second clutch during the torque phase in response to a measured torque of one of the input shaft and the output shaft.

Abstract
A multiple ratio transmission having an input shaft, an output shaft and oncoming clutch and off-going clutch for effecting ratio upshifts is provided. The transmission also includes a transmission controller configured for controlling shifts. During the torque phase of a ratio upshift, the controller increases input torque. Next, the controller estimates an oncoming clutch target torque. The controller controls a torque input to ensure the off-going clutch remains locked. The controller measures an actual transmission value for a torque transmitting element of the transmission and corrects the oncoming clutch target torque using the actual transmission value whereby an increasing torque for the oncoming friction element is achieved with minimal torque transients along the output shaft during the upshift.

8. A multiple ratio transmission comprising:
-
an input shaft; an output shaft; an oncoming clutch and off-going clutch for effecting a ratio upshift between discrete gear ratios; and a shift controller configured for; estimating a target torque for the oncoming clutch during a torque phase of the upshift; controlling applying pressure of the off-going clutch so that the off-going clutch remains locked during the torque phase of the upshift; adjusting the target torque of the oncoming clutch using a measured torque of a torque transmitting element of the transmission; and controlling applying pressure of the oncoming clutch after adjusting. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for controlling a transmission during an upshift, the method comprising:
-
controlling an off-going clutch to remain locked during a torque phase of the upshift; measuring an actual torque for a torque transmitting element of the transmission; and controlling an oncoming clutch torque capacity in response to the actual torque of the torque transmitting element to provide a generally decreasing output shaft torque during the torque phase and inertia phase of the upshift. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
