A method for reducing chatter vibrations of a friction clutch controlled automatically by a clutch actuator based on a target clutch torque (M(s)) assigned to a clutch torque which is to be transmitted, said friction clutch is positioned in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle between an internal combustion engine and a transmission, having a present actual clutch torque which is marked by vibrations as a result of vibrations which occur occasionally (M(i)), the method comprising ascertaining an absolute amplitude and a phase of an input signal detected at an output of the friction clutch from a transmission behavior of the present actual clutch torque (M(i)) and conveyed to a regulator, ascertaining a phase-selective disturbance torque from the absolute amplitude and the phase of the input signal, determining a phase-correct correction torque (M(k)), and correcting a target clutch torque (M(s)) using the phase-correct correction torque by the regulator, and weighting the correction torque (M(k)) with a definable intensification factor.
