A method of monitoring a torque transmission system with a manually switchable gearbox in the power train of a motor vehicle involves the utilization of at least one sensor unit at the input side of the torque transmission system to ascertain relevant positions of the shift lever of the gearbox and the driving torque of the engine of the motor vehicle. The thus obtained shift lever signals are memorized, together with comparison signals which are obtained as a result of filtering of the shift lever signals, and various characteristics of such signals are recognized and identified to indicate the intention of the operator of the vehicle regarding the switching of the gearbox. The thus obtained switching intention signals are transmitted to a controlled clutch operating system.
A method of controlling a torque transmitting system comprising the step of controlling a transmittable torque that may be transmitted from an input side to an output side of the torque transmitting system in dependency upon a driving torque, wherein the transmittable torque follows the driving torque in a scatter band.
A method of controlling a clutch in a power train of a motor vehicle, wherein the torque that can be transmitted from an input side of the clutch to an output side of the clutch is controlled dependent on a driving torque of a drive source in the power train of the vehicle, and wherein the torque that can be transmitted is controlled within a scatter bandwidth of the driving torque with a certain excess contact pressure Δm being allowed so that the need for adjusting moves is reduced.
