Abstract
A method and system for automatically estimating clutch control parameters is described. In one example, a torque source is operated in a speed control mode so that changes in torque source torque output may be indicative of torque transfer through a clutch. Torque source torque output values may be a basis for estimating clutch fill time and clutch touch pressure.
