A system, comprising an engine having an electronically controlled throttle plate to adjust airflow to the engine; a transmission having an input speed and an output speed, the transmission including a clutch and the transmission coupled to the engine; and a controller configured to: during a tip-out condition and during a gear ratio change to a future gear, and when the transmission does not provide engine braking, control the engine speed to a synchronous speed in the future gear ratio by adjusting an engine operating parameter so that the engine speed is close to the engine speed that will be achieved after the gear change is completed, and maintain engine speed at the close engine speed after the gear change is completed until a tip-in, where engine speed is controlled by adjusting at least the electronically controlled throttle plate.

What is claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: an engine having an electronically controlled throttle plate to adjust airflow to the engine; a transmission having an input speed and an output speed, the transmission including a clutch and the transmission coupled to the engine; and a controller configured to: during a tip-out condition and during a gear ratio change to a future gear, and when the transmission does not provide engine braking, control the engine speed to a synchronous speed in the future gear ratio by adjusting an engine operating parameter so that the engine speed is close to the engine speed that will be achieved after the gear change is completed, and maintain engine speed at the close engine speed after the gear change is completed until a tip-in, where engine speed is controlled by adjusting at least the electronically controlled throttle plate. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein said synchronous speed is a synchronous transmission input speed. 3. A system, comprising: an engine having an electronically controlled throttle plate to adjust airflow to the engine; a transmission having an input speed and an output speed, the transmission coupled to the engine; and a controller configured to: during a closed pedal condition and during a manual gear ratio change to a future gear, control the engine speed to a synchronous speed in the future gear ratio by adjusting an engine operating parameter so that the engine speed is close to the engine speed that will be achieved after the gear change is completed, and maintain the engine speed at the synchronous speed after the shift to the future gear until a driver tip-in to provide a reduced-delay wheel torque output increase in response to the tip-in, where engine speed is controlled by adjusting the electronically controlled throttle plate. 4. The system of claim 3 wherein said synchronous speed is a synchronous transmission input speed. 5. A system, comprising: an engine having an electronically controlled throttle plate to adjust airflow to the engine; a transmission having an input speed and an output speed, the transmission coupled to the engine; and a controller configured to: during a closed pedal condition and when the transmission does not provide engine braking, control the engine speed to a synchronous speed, where the synchronous speed is based on a transmission gear state, where the engine speed is maintained at the synchronous speed until positive powertrain output is applied; and when positive powertrain output torque is again applied, provide said powertrain output torque without delay and with engine speed increasing from the synchronous speed, where engine speed is controlled by adjusting the electronically controlled throttle plate.
