Abstract
An improved control method for properly coordinating a double transition downshift. The state changes of the various clutches of the transmission are sequenced in relation to a dynamic measure of the transmission speed ratio so as to provide consistent high quality shifting. Adaptive pressure controls are employed in conjunction with the sequencing to compensate for variability.
