Abstract

A control system (104)/method for a vehicular automated mechanical transmission is provided, which will compare input signals indicative of input shaft speed (IS) to the product of input signals indicative of output shaft speed multiplied by the numerical value of the engaged gear ratio (OS*GR) to develop control parameters indicative of drivetrain torque magnitude and/or phase without requiring a driveline torque transducer.
