Patent ID: 7077024

Claim:
A method for gear upshifting in a motor vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine ( 1 ) with an engine-braking device ( 52 ), an automated disk-clutch ( 3 ), a multi-stage gearbox ( 9 ), in the casing ( 8 ) of which an input shaft ( 7 ), an intermediate shaft ( 11 ) and a main shaft ( 10 ) are mounted, and braking means ( 50 ) for braking the intermediate shaft ( 11 ), upon upshifting, the disk clutch ( 3 ) is disengaged and the intermediate shaft ( 11 ) is disengaged from the main shaft ( 10 ) and the braking means ( 50 ) is activated so that rotational speed of the intermediate shaft ( 11 ) is adapted to a new gear selected at the same time as the rotational speed of the engine ( 1 ) is adapted to the rotational speed of the input shaft ( 7 ) in the new gear by virtue of the engine-braking device ( 52 ) being activated.
