Patent ID: 7121390

Claim:
A method for adjusting a relationship, stored in an electronic control unit, between a torque transmittable by a clutch, and a control variable for controlling an actuation unit of the clutch, which clutch is arranged in an automated motor vehicle drive train between a drive motor and a transmission, the drive train including a torque detection device arranged between the clutch and a transmission having a steplessly changeable transmission ratio, said method comprising the steps of: producing in the torque detection device an output parameter dependent upon a detected torque and a momentary transmission ratio of the transmission, calculating the torque transmitted by the clutch from the momentary transmission ratio and the value of the output parameter, and adjusting the transmittable torque based upon the control variable and the transmitted torque to produce an adjusted transmittable torque at an operating condition of the clutch at which the transmittable and transmitted torques of the clutch are equalized.
