Abstract
A method for controlling a gear unit of a motor vehicle having synchronizing devices. When an actuating device of a synchronizing device is controlled in terms of force or travel, strongly differing wear behavior occurs depending on use. The inclination of the travel path or the shifting frequency is detected during operation of the motor vehicle and a characteristic diagram is used in order to adapt the shifting force to the information item obtained.
