A dual clutch transmission (DCT) control module includes a position control module that actuates a shift fork of the DCT during a first shift state based on a measured shift fork position and a target shift fork position. A force control module adjusts a control force associated with the shift fork during a second shift state based on synchronizer slip.

This invention relates to a method for knock detection in a combustion engine, in which combustion is controlled by a control unit (), which comprises the steps of, a) obtaining at least one sensor signal (') carrying information of knock intensity related within a combustion chamber of the combustion engine (); (b) processing the sensor signal (&#x2032;) to obtain a knock intensity related detection variable (z), (c) using said detection variable (z) in said control unit () arranged to avoid a knocking condition in said combustion engine (), if the value (z) of said detection variable indicates knock when compared with a threshold value (T) wherein using two different computations/processes for said processing () of the at least one sensor signal (&#x2032;) to obtain two separate sub-values (y, y), and thereafter combining said sub-values (y, y) to obtain said detection variable (z).
