Abstract
A vehicle includes an engine and electric machine connected to a planetary gear, a one-way clutch, and a controller. The one-way clutch transfers torque from the planetary gear to an overdrive gear. The controller, in response to a condition requiring disengagement of the one-way clutch, increases a torque of the electric machine based on a torque command for the electric machine and the torque transferred from the planetary gear to the overdrive gear.
