System and method for automatically calibrating the clutches within a transmission of a work vehicle

A computer-implemented method for automatically calibrating clutches within a continuously variable transmission of a work vehicle, the method comprising:

• determining, with a computing device, whether a plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied for performing a clutch calibration on a clutch of the continuously variable transmission, wherein the plurality of predetermined conditions require that the work vehicle be in park and that a predetermined time period has elapsed since a previous clutch calibration was performed on the clutch, the predetermined time period corresponding to a predetermined amount of engine hours of the work vehicle;
• automatically initiating the clutch calibration without requiring operator input when the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied;
• and
• performing the clutch calibration in order to calibrate the clutch.

A system for automatically calibrating work vehicle clutches, the system comprising:

• a transmission including a clutch and a clutch valve associated with the clutch, the clutch valve being configured to regulate a clutch pressure of fluid supplied to a an actuator of the clutch, the actuator being configured to engage the clutch based on the clutch pressure;
• and
• a controller commutatively coupled to the clutch valve, the controller being configured to:
• determine whether a plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied tier performing a clutch calibration on the clutch, wherein the plurality of predetermined conditions require that the work vehicle be in park and that a predetermined time period has elapsed since a previous clutch calibration was performed on the clutch;
• automatically initiate the clutch calibration without requiring operator input when the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied;
• and
• perform the clutch calibration in order to calibrate the clutch.
