Abstract
A control system for an engine of a vehicle includes a shift forecasting module that forecasts one of an upshift and a downshift of a manual transmission based on vehicle acceleration, clutch pedal position, acceleration pedal position and brake pedal position. A gear state calculating module determines a current gear state based on a speed of the engine and a speed of the vehicle. A next gear state calculating module determines a next gear state. The next gear state is based on the current gear state and the one of the upshift and downshift. A next engine speed calculating module estimates an estimated engine speed based on the next gear state and the vehicle speed. An engine speed control module adjusts the engine speed based on the estimated engine speed.
