A system for providing electric creep in a manual transmission vehicle having an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, and an engine uses an electric motor configured to provide creep torque to a transmission output shaft when the manual transmission is in neutral, the electric creep mode is activated and the engine is auto-stopped. The system may provide forward or reverse creep torque. The system may cancel the electric creep in response to a vehicle door opening, a driver unbuckling a seatbelt, or depressing the accelerator pedal or the clutch pedal, or shifting the manual transmission out of neutral.

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.
