Abstract
A method/system for controlling an automated mechanical transmission system (10) utilized on a vehicle and having a manually operated master friction clutch operator (48). To protect from driveline damage due to dynamic clutch “popping,” upon sensing dynamic vehicle conditions (OS >REFVSPEED) and clutch (16) not engaged, transmission (14) engaged and THL>REFTHL, a controller (28) causes engine speed (ES) to be limited to a target value (EST) substantially equal to input shaft speed (IS).
