Patent ID: 6971971

Claim:
A method for adaptation of an engagement of an automated clutch, the clutch being arranged in a transmission system of a vehicle downstream of a torque converter, said method comprising the steps of operating the clutch by an actuating pressure during an engaging process of the clutch; controlling said actuating pressure over time such that predetermined characteristics for the engagement of said clutch are approximated by starting a process for changing a rotational speed of an output shaft of the torque converter for an adaptation of a rotational speed to an actual velocity of the vehicle during engagement of the clutch, determining an ideal signal for the rotational speed of the output shaft over time wherein the ideal signal corresponds to an estimate for the engagement of the clutch with the predetermined characteristics, measuring an actual signal of the rotational speed of the output shaft over time during said process, determining deviations between the actual signal and the ideal signal, automatically changing a signal of the actuating pressure over time in order to reduce the deviations between the actual signal and the ideal signal if the deviations exceed a threshold.
