Abstract
A method of controlling a twin-clutch transmission with a first partial transmission with which are associated a first engine clutch and a first group of gears, and a second partial transmission with which are associated a second engine clutch and a second group of gears, said method containing the step of engaging a forward gear associated with one partial transmission and a reverse gear associated with the other partial transmission when the transmission, with the motor vehicle at a standstill, is in a non-driving position.
Claims6
A method of controlling a twin-clutch transmission with a first partial transmission with a first engine clutch and a first group of gears, and a second partial transmission with a second engine clutch and a second group of gears, comprising the steps of:
- disengaging the first and second clutches;
- acquiring a temperature signal;
- engaging a forward gear from the first group of gears when a sensed temperature is under a predetermined temperature limit;
- engaging a reverse gear from the second group of gears when the sensed temperature is under the predetermined temperature limit;
- and, maintaining the engagement of the forward and reverse gears, while the first and second clutches are disengaged.
