Abstract:
A method is disclosed for controlling an actuator to activate a motor vehicle clutch. A shift operation is acquired for a motor vehicle transmission. A shift actuator is controlled as a function of the acquired shift operation. The acquisition of the shift operation includes acquiring an operational force that is exerted on a shift mechanism during the operation, A shifting duration for the shift operation and/or a clutch adjustment duration (i.e., disengaging and/or engaging) of the motor vehicle clutch is modified as a function of the acquired shift operation.

Claim (Index 24):
The control system according to  claim 22 , wherein the actuation parameter is the shift duration applied to the manual gear shift and the controller is further configured to:\n control the actuator to operate the clutch using a first actuator operation having a first closing ramp and a first opening ramp when the shift force having a first actuation duration; and control the actuator to operate the clutch using a second actuator operation having a second closing ramp and a second opening ramp when the shift force has a second actuation duration different than the first actuation duration; wherein at least one of the second closing ramp and the second opening ramp are shorter than the corresponding first closing ramp and the first opening ramp.
