Systems and methods for performing a garage shift of an automatic transmission of a vehicle comprise maintaining a clutch at a first holding pressure while the transmission is in a neutral gear and a brake input signal satisfies a threshold and maintaining the clutch at a lower second holding pressure while the transmission is in the neutral gear and the brake input signal satisfies the threshold to mitigate or eliminate causing drive torque to be transferred from a torque generating system of the vehicle to its driveline via the transmission. When the brake input signal satisfies the threshold and a shift from the neutral gear to a non-neutral gear is requested, the garage shift is then executed.
