Abstract
A method for controlling the operation of a transmission of a work vehicle based on the detection of unintended vehicle motion may generally include determining an intended driving direction for the work vehicle while the vehicle is positioned on a sloped surface and initiating a shifting procedure within the transmission for engaging an on-coming clutch associated with moving the work vehicle in the intended driving direction, wherein the on-coming clutch is initially engaged at an initial ramp rate. In addition, the method may include monitoring an acceleration of the work vehicle as the on-coming clutch is being engaged, determining a current travel direction for the work vehicle based on the monitored acceleration and, when the current travel direction differs from the intended driving direction, adjusting the initial ramp rate for engaging the on-coming clutch to an increased ramp rate.
