Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling a clutch-transmission unit which makes it possible to intentionally influence the selection of the shifting steps by a parameter which is gained from the detected and stored values of the drive pedal position. Together with further parameters such as transverse acceleration, deceleration and coasting operation, the transmission control is matched optimally to the driving style of the respective driver and to the traffic situation which prevails at that moment.
