TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND SHIFTING METHOD

Systems and methods for a transmission. The transmission system operating method includes, in one example, re-estimating a time for each phase of an alternate gear shift in response to determining one or more conditions that are indicative of an operator's intent to implement the alternate gear shift. The method further includes performing one or more gear change phases that reduce a duration to implement the alternate gear shift based on the re-estimated time for each phase of the alternate gear shift.
