Patent ID: 8083044

Claim:
A method of controlling a clutch controller ( 6 ) with a cylinder, a piston ( 14 ) and an actuator ( 15 ) for operation of a clutch ( 3 ) located between a drive motor and a transmission ( 1 ) of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of: operating a clutch release bearing ( 4 ), arranged co-axially to a central axis of the clutch ( 3 ), via the actuator ( 15 ); applying and variably adjusting a pre-tensioning force to the clutch release bearing ( 4 ); directing an operating medium into the clutch controller ( 6 ) for axial displacement of at least one of the piston ( 14 ) and the clutch release bearing ( 4 ); and generating and regulating the pre-tensioning force with the clutch controller ( 6 ), such that specific and need-based incremental axial movements, relative to a transmission input shaft, are generated in the clutch release bearing ( 4 ), when the clutch ( 3 ) is disengaged.
