A default value of transmission input speed in a motor vehicle powertrain having an automatic-shift multi-gear ratio power transmission is continuously updated based on a measured value of the input speed and other reliable speed data including transmission output speed and engine speed. The default value is substituted for the measured input speed when a malfunction of the input speed sensor is detected, and transitions back to the measured input speed when the input speed sensor malfunction is no longer present.
