The method involves performing a secondary engine torque reduction control based on the engine torque or throttle valve opening position, when there is a power change during a power-on upshift or a current upshift is a shift during a shift. A primary engine torque reduction control is performed when the current power-on upshift state is a normal power-on upshift state.

The method involves determining whether a preset shift compensation control entrance condition exists. An amount of blow-up is calculated, when occurrence of blow-up is determined. A hydraulic duty compensation is performed for an off-going friction unit based on the amount of the blow-up. An engine torque compensation is performed based on a transmission output shaft revolutions per minute (rpm) ...
