Patent ID: 8909447

Claim:
A method of controlling shifts in a vehicle transmission with either a transmission or a partial transmission made as a dual-clutch transmission (DKG) that shifts without traction force interruption and which comprises a dual clutch (DK) having a first clutch (K 1 ) and a second clutch (K 2 ) that are functionally connected to a drive engine (M), and a transmission or partial transmission being made as a main transmission (HG) that shifts with traction force interruption and is connected in a drive-train downstream from the dual-clutch transmission (DKG), the method comprising the steps of: operating the dual clutch (DK) as at least one of a transmission brake and an engine brake by pre-loading the first and the second clutches (K 1 , K 2 ), during shifts of the main transmission (HG) connected downstream from the dual-clutch transmission (DKG), to adapt the rotational speed of components to be shifted.
