<p>A system and method for controlling the bypass clutch of an automatic transmission includes an electronic microprocessor (50), an electronic memory (62) accessible to the microprocessor (50), a torque converter bypass friction clutch (82), and control algorithms that produce output signals to control the state of solenoid-operated valve (70, 72, 74, 76, 78). The vehicle speed at which the bypass clutch engages and disengages, according to a reference schedule, is compensated for loss of engine torque at conditions that differ from the conditions at which the reference schedule is defined. Vehicle speed is compensated for torque variation with reference to the ratio of current calculated engine torque divided by current engine output torque. <IMAGE></p> |
