Abstract:
1. Method for determining the filling pressure for a clutch that comprises clutch linings, a clutch release spring, and a hydraulic pressure system for closing the clutch against the force of the clutch release spring, wherein at an engagement point of the clutch, the clutch linings abut against each other and any further increase in pressure in the pressure system immediately creates the capacity of the clutch in transmitting a torque, said method comprising the following steps: A: subjecting the pressure system to a set-filling-pressure p B: determining of an actual pressure p C: terminating the subjection of the pressure system to the set-filling-pressure p D: subjecting the pressure system to a set-abutting-pressure p E: determining a characteristic K indicating whether after the point in time t F: repeating the cycle with the steps A-E wherein the set-filling-pressure p G: storing of the set-filling-pressure p
