Abstract

In a motor vehicle having an electronically controlled automatic transmission, a method of inhibiting upshifts determines torque and acceleration parameters of the output shaft of the transmission prior to and after a shift. An estimate of the output shaft moment of inertia is determined from the pre and post shift quantities and used in the inhibition of upshifts having inadequate torque capacity.
