Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a transmission of a hybrid powertrain that includes a motor/generator are described. The systems and methods may adjust one or more actuators in response to an estimated transmission input shaft speed that is determined from transmission output shaft speed. The one or more actuators may include a transmission clutch, the motor/generator, or a gear selection solenoid.
