A method for determining an engagement point (X) of a clutch (3). The clutch (3) has first and second clutch sides (3a, 3b), which are rotationally decoupled when the clutch (3) is disengaged/open and which are rotationally coupled when the clutch (3) is engaged/closed. The method includes the steps of disengaging the clutch (3) and then engaging the clutch (3), in order to determine the engagement point (X). During this, the first clutch side (3a) is driven in rotation and the second clutch side (3b) is accelerated, for at least part of the time, by an acceleration device (4). A control device actuates the clutch (3) in order determine the engagement point (X) of the clutch (3), and a computer program product with stored commands, brings about the sequence of the method when the program is operated on a suitable control unit.
