Zusammenfassung:	A continuously variable transmission, a control system, and a method is provided for synchronizing a clutch application state change and a continuous upshift in a motor vehicle propulsion system having a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The control system and method are configured to determine whether a continuous upshift of the CVT is impending. The continuous upshift is defined as a pulley ratio change exceeding a predetermined threshold for a predetermined pulley ratio change period. If a continuous upshift is impending, the control system and method are configured to alter a clutch engagement state after a predetermined delay period to synchronize the change in clutch engagement state with an engine speed change.
