Abstract
The net engagement pressure of a torque converter clutch is controlled in response to a commanded slip and a slip error indication, for isolating engine torque perturbations from the vehicle driveline. The transmission of an excessive level of engine speed perturbation is detected and used to develop a correction amount for the measured slip. The correction amount increases the slip error indication and causes the slip to be controlled at a higher level, thereby reducing the amount of transmitted engine torque perturbation.
