 Image Number 10 for United States Patent #6500093.
A control system/method for an at least partially automated transmission system (100) includes means to determine engine fueling required to cause a gross engine output torque (T.sub.EG (for zero flywheel torque)) resulting in zero flywheel torque (T.sub.FW =0). The engine (102) is caused to be fueled to the level required to cause zero flywheel torque at certain predetermined conditions, such as, for example, when disengaging a currently engaged ratio or during throttle recovery.
