A system for operating a dual clutch transmission, including launch/creep controller, shift logic, and a clutch control assembly. The shift logic is configured to intercept a torque command including a target clutch torque from the launch/creep controller as it transmits the target clutch torque to the clutch assembly. The shift logic engages a preparation phase that increases torque on an on-coming clutch to a prefill torque. The shift logic then engages a torque phase that transfers torque between the off-going clutch and the on-coming clutch by simultaneously decreasing the off-going clutch torque and increasing the on-coming clutch torque. The off-going clutch and the on-coming clutch remain in a slipping state that maintains the target clutch torque during the transfer.

A method for controlling creep driving of a vehicle may include determining, by a controller for controlling a dry clutch, whether transfer torque of the dry clutch is 0 or less and a control error resulting from subtraction of a current car speed from a target creep speed is 0 or less, which is referred to as a step of determining condition, and stopping, by the controller, accumulation of an integral control component for creep controlling if the condition in the step of determining condition is met, which is referred to as a step of stopping accumulation.

A method actively changes the frictional value of a hybrid disconnect clutch installed in a powertrain of a vehicle in which a first electric motor (18) is connected to a clutch input (21) and an internal combustion engine (17), and a second electric motor (19) is connected to a clutch output (22) and a vehicle output (23). The frictional value of the hybrid disconnect clutch is actively changed, in order to roughen a surface of the friction linings on the hybrid disconnect clutch (20). A slip situation is established at the hybrid disconnect clutch (20), and during this slip situation energy is introduced into the hybrid disconnect clutch (20) in a controlled manner.
