Abstract
A torque smoothing system for a displacement on demand engine includes an engine having a plurality of cylinders and a torque converter. A controller adjusts a slip rate of the torque converter to a first rate and deactivates one or more of the cylinders. The controller then adjusts the slip rate to a second rate.
