•  When shifting between N-D and N-R, and when the transmission shifts between 1-6, the TCM outputs an engine torque request signal to the PCM, thereby cutting the inertia torque increase caused by shifting in order to provide smooth shifting characteristics.

•  Furthermore, clutch-to-clutch control performs engine torque control to ensure that engine output does not exceed the proscribed upper limit even when the accelerator pedal is depressed suddenly in order to prevent air blasts from the engine (due to torque interruption) when shifting.
