    Abstract: A system and method of controlling the operation of a transmission using fuel consumption data. The system and method includes controlling the operation of a vehicle transmission which is operatively connected to an engine having operating characteristics and operatively connected to a transmission control module having access to a memory. Fuel consumption data for an engine is converted to engine efficiency loss data representative of the engine operating. A set of equations is determined to provide a pattern representative of the operating characteristics the engine. A transmission controller using the pattern determines a prospective operating condition of the transmission to provide fuel efficient operation of the engine.

    Abstract: A multi-speed automatic transmission having a control circuit for managing a hill climb event is provided. The control circuit may detect the hill climb event, such as by identifying when an upshift from a climb gear to an upshift gear would cause deceleration on a hill. The control circuit may also respond to the hill climb event based on desired performance characteristics, including fuel economy, speed, acceleration, and other performance characteristics. In one embodiment, the control circuit responds to the hill climb event by cycling the multi-speed automatic transmission between the climb gear and the upshift gear.
