Abstract
A method for operating a dual-clutch transmission with two clutches. During realization of a ratio, a first clutch is closed and a second clutch is open. During a ratio change, the first clutch is opened and the second clutch is closed. During a ratio change within short operating times, a target actuating pressure of the clutch for engagement is set to a fast-charging pressure level and subsequently adjusted to a closing pressure level, while a target actuating pressure of the clutch for disengagement is adjusted to an opening pressure level before setting the closing pressure level of the clutch for engagement. At least during a ratio change, an actual actuating pressure of the clutch for engagement is monitored and the target actuating pressure of the clutch for disengagement is adjusted to the opening pressure level if the actual actuating pressure of the clutch for engagement exceeds a pressure threshold.
