Abstract: A method for determining the output speed (N_AB) of a manual transmission of a motor vehicle. The output speed (N_AB) is calculated during a period of a shifting operation in which the current gear is disengaged and the new gear has yet to be engaged. The calculated output speed (N_AB) is used for controlling adjustment of the speed of the transmission input shaft (N_EG) to the speed of the transmission output shaft, or the calculated output speed (N_AB), is used for checking the plausibility of a value of the output speed (N_AB) as determined by the sensors.

Abstract: A method of generating substitute values for measured values in a control unit by correlating at least two measured values. The method includes first saving at least one value which predefines a relationship between the two measured values. The measured values are measured, during the operation of the control unit, and the predefined relationship value is overwritten in the memory unit by the relationship actually arising during operation on the basis of the measurement. Upon recognition of an error or a failure of the measuring apparatus, which is associated with the measured values, with the aid of the relationship actually arising during operation on the basis of the measurement, a substitute value for the measured values, which were to be measured by the defective measuring apparatus, is then calculated and transmitted to the control unit for further processing.

Abstract: A method for controlling operational sequencing of gears in an automatic transmission (102) which has been built in an auxiliary mode. In the case of such a shifting transmission it is possible that during the engagement of its transmission gear stage, impact noises or contact noises are present in the shifting procedure. This can occur by the generation of a tooth-on-tooth positioning between the toothing of a sliding collar (126) and the come-along toothing of an idler gear (130, 132). Provision is made for the control of the activation movement of the sliding collar (126) carried out in such a manner that an activation condition impact of the transmission parts, which are partakers in the shifting associated transmission part onto other transmission parts with the least possible impact force and/or with a least possible impact noise level.

Abstract: A control procedure for an automatic transmission, wherein, via a gear range shifter, a change of the gear range both between the forward travel gear range and the reverse travel gear range and between a fast gear mode and a creeper gear mode can be put into action. A control apparatus selects a transmission gear to be engaged, dependent on data, input by an operator with the aid of a gear range shifter for the manual choice of a driving gear area, whereby the gear range shifter possesses at least a D-shifting position for the selection of a forward travel gear range, an N-position for the selection of an idle running position of the automatic transmission and an R-position for the selection of a reverse travel gear range, and that the automatic transmission can be driven in a fast gear mode as well as in a creeper gear mode.
