Abstract
A method for controlling a clutch unit for a drive train of a motor vehicle, wherein the clutch unit comprises a wet-running friction clutch for controllably transmitting torque from an input element to an output element of the clutch unit, wherein the clutch unit comprises oil for cooling the friction clutch, wherein heat inputs which contribute to heating the oil of the clutch unit are calculated, heat outflows which contribute to cooling the oil of the clutch unit are calculated and, as a function of the heat inputs and heat outflows, a maximum admissible clutch torque is calculated, and wherein the current clutch torque of the friction clutch is limited to the maximum admissible clutch torque.
