Claim 0:
1. A control system for an automatic transmission of a vehicle, the control system comprising:
a set of sensors configured to monitor a set of operating parameters of the vehicle, the set of operating parameters each relating to a rock cycling maneuver of the vehicle, the rock cycling maneuver comprising a plurality of consecutive garage shifts of the transmission; and
a controller configured to:
determine whether the set of operating parameters satisfy a set of entry or exit criteria to/from a rock cycling mode of the transmission and enter/exit the rock cycling mode based on the determination;
while not in the rock cycling mode, control the transmission based on a first set of calibrations for the transmission, the first set of calibrations being optimized for normal garage shifts of the transmission; and
while in the rock cycling mode, control the transmission based on a different second set of calibrations for the transmission, the second set of calibrations being optimized for the rock cycling maneuver.
