Abstract

The slip of a friction clutch between the engine and the transmission of a motor vehicle is regulated in such a way that the clutch is caused to operate with slip during transmission of torque which exhibits undesirable vibrations while the the RPM of the engine is within a first partial range, and that the clutch is prevented from operating with slip during transmission of torque which exhibits undesirable vibrations while the RPM of the engine is within second partial range.
