Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
estimating a flow rate of a fluid in a clutch of a vehicle;
estimating a first pressure at a first location of the clutch based on the flow rate;
computing a first torque lead value based on the first pressure, a selected lead time value, and a delay time value;
computing a second torque lead value based on a second pressure, the selected lead time value, and the delay time value, the second pressure is estimated at a second location of the clutch that is different than the first location;
computing a third torque lead value by combining the first torque lead value and the second torque lead value; and
applying torque from a motor of the vehicle based on the third torque lead value.
