A system and method for automatically shifting a vehicle based upon monitored conditions. The system includes a sensor assembly configured to detect a tilt of the vehicle, an acceleration sensor configured to detect whether the vehicle is accelerating, and a throttle sensor configured to detect whether the throttle is activated. The system further includes a computer configured to automatically shift the transmission of the vehicle to neutral when all of the monitored conditions are satisfied. In one embodiment, if one of the conditions ceases to be satisfied, then the logic causes the transmission of the vehicle to shift back from neutral to the prior gear.
