Claim 4:
5. A system, comprising:
an internal combustion engine;
an integrated starter/generator;
a disconnect clutch positioned in a driveline between the internal combustion engine and the integrated starter/generator;
a transmission included in the driveline; and
a controller including executable instructions stored in non-transitory memory that cause the controller to place operation of the disconnect clutch in a wait state, where a torque capacity of the disconnect clutch is constrained below a threshold value, while a gear shift of the transmission is requested and while the disconnect clutch is scheduled to start the internal combustion engine, and additional executable instructions to schedule starting of the internal combustion engine via a flywheel starter in response to a driver urgency level exceeding a threshold level, and additional instructions to cancelling starting of the internal combustion engine via the driveline disconnect clutch in response to the driver urgency level being greater than the threshold level.
