Abstract
The invention is directed to a method for controlling the operation of a clutch () which coacts with an automatic transmission stage (). A variator controller () is assigned to the automatic transmission stage () and a contact-force control () is assigned to the clutch (). Depending upon the detected and classifiable drive situations, first and second torque/contact-force reserves () are determined which are supplied to an input quantity M() of the variator controller () and to the contact-force control () for the clutch (). The output signals () of the variator controller () and the contact-force control () influence the operation of the automatic transmission stage () and the clutch ().
