Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a dual clutch transmission, the method comprising: repeatedly moving a synchronizer into interlocking engagement with a first gear with a synchronizer actuator fork to rotatably couple the first gear to a layshaft; repeatedly sensing a position of the synchronizer actuator fork for each occurrence that the synchronizer actuator fork moves the synchronizer into the interlocking engagement with the first gear; averaging the sensed positions of the synchronizer actuator fork that were sensed for each occurrence of the synchronizer actuator fork moving the synchronizer into the interlocking engagement with the first gear to define a first engaged position of the synchronizer actuator fork for engaging the first gear; and controlling the actuation of the dry dual clutch transmission based on the first engaged position of the synchronizer actuator fork.
