Abstract
A robust control method/system for smoothing upshifts in an automated mechanical transmission system (12) is provided. During the torque recovery portion of an upshift, engine deceleration (dES/dt) and the difference between current engine speed (ES) and a target engine speed (ES.sub.SYNC) and actuator response times are utilized to sequence the issuance of command output signals to the friction clutch (24) and throttle override (34) actuators.
