Abstract: A method of operating a vehicle drivetrain for rocking the vehicle free. The drivetrain has a transmission with an input and an output that can be coupled by a clutch. The input and output are connected to a drive aggregate and a drive output, respectively. The clutch is actuated based on driver actuation of an accelerator and a rotational speed of the drive output such that following accelerator actuation, when its actuation decreases, the clutch disengages with a first opening gradient. Then, based on a calculated point in time at which drive aggregate torque upon the clutch corresponds to torque on the clutch from the drive output, the clutch disengages with a second, smaller opening gradient. And depending on a rotational speed of the drive output relative to a limit value, the clutch either initiates or terminates engagement with a first closing gradient.
