A method for regulating the engagement position of a position-controlled clutch unit for a drive train of a motor vehicle, wherein the clutch unit has at least one wet-running friction clutch, in particular an oil-lubricated multi-disk clutch, for the controllable transmission of a torque from an input element to an output element of the friction clutch, and an actuator for setting the engagement position for the purposes of mutual compression of the input and output elements, wherein the method compensates a time-dependent setting behavior of the friction clutch on the basis of the uptake of lubrication oil of the friction clutch, which varies over time, in that the engagement position of the clutch unit is regulated by means of the actuator as a function of the time-dependent setting behavior.
