Abstract
A method and system for regulating the torque transmitting capacity of a frictionally-engaged torque-transmitting assembly located in the drive train of a motor vehicle. The torque-transmitting assembly has an input and an output, the values of which, such as input torque and output torque, are detected by sensors. The torque values are subjected to a correlation calculation in which a correlation value is calculated. The difference value between the calculated correlation value and a predetermined correlation target value is determined. An adjustment value is determined to reduce the difference value if the difference value exceeds a preset threshold value.
