Abstract
A system for avoiding the effects of jerking in the drive train of a motor vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine, comprising a device for limiting the quantity of fuel supplied to the combustion chambers of the engine controlled with the aid of a transducer for measuring the approach of two coupling parts of a coupling mounted in the drive shaft to the gearing system of the motor vehicle. If a value of a predetermined approach speed is exceeded, then the drive torque output by the engine is reduced, by reducing the fuel quantity, such that the coupling parts come into contact gently with one another. After that, the output torque of the engine can be further increased arbitrarily.
