Transmission with torque sensors and method of controlling a transmission

A transmission comprising:

• an input member;
• an output member;
• a first shaft at least partially defining a first power flow path between said input member and said output member;
• a second shaft at least partially defining a second power flow path between said input member and said output member;
• first and second coaxial shafts further defining said first and second power flow paths, respectively;
• wherein said first and second shafts are countershafts spaced generally parallel with said input member, said output member, and said first and second coaxial shafts;
• a first torque sensor operatively connected to said first shaft for sensing an amount of torque carried by said first shaft;
• a second torque sensor operatively connected to said second shaft for sensing an amount of torque carried by said second shaft;
• a first torque-transmitting mechanism selectively engagable to at least partially establish power flow from said input member to said output member along said first power flow path;
• a second torque-transmitting mechanism selectively engagable alternately with said first torque-transmitting mechanism to at least partially establish power flow from said input member to said output member along said second power flow path;
• a plurality of intermeshing gears, different ones of which at least partially form said power flow paths for transferring torque from said input member to said output member;
• and
• wherein said torque sensors are operatively connected to said respective shafts downstream of said first and second torque-transmitting mechanisms, said coaxial shafts, and at least some of said gears in said respective power flow paths.
