Abstract: A method provides for adapting shifts to be carried out in a transmission of a motor vehicle. The shifts are triggered by a transmission control unit and are is controlled and/or governed by the transmission control unit. An actual value corresponding to an acceleration of the motor vehicle is recorded by measuring instruments and is compared to a corresponding target value. On the basis of a deviation between the actual value and the target value, the carrying out of the subsequent shifts of the transmission control unit is adapted. The actual value corresponding to an acceleration of the motor vehicle is individually recorded for several consecutive shift stages of each shift, whereas the actual value in the individual shift stages is compared to the target value in the individual shift stages of the transmission control unit.

Abstract: A method of early recognition of damage in a motor vehicle transmission which comprises at least one acceleration sensor, with which mechanical vibrations in the motor vehicle transmission are detected and converted into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is then digitalized and thereafter carrying our a comparison with a comparison parameter. The mechanical vibrations are detected at defined operating points of the motor vehicle transmission and, from the digitalized electrical signal acceleration amplitudes, are determined over a time interval. A count is taken of conditions in which the acceleration amplitudes exceed the comparison parameter and, with reference to the number of such conditions, a calculated probability of damage in the motor vehicle transmission is determined. A motor vehicle transmission whose damage can be determined by the method, and a computer program product for carrying out the individual process steps are also proposed.

Abstract: A transmission shifting device (1) with a selector shaft (2), a disk (7) connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the selector shaft (2), in which a disk-side guide (14) is provided, and a fixed plate (16) arranged opposite the disk (7), in which a plate-side guide (19) is formed. A moving control element (25) is provided for shifting a transmission, which extends into the disk-side and the plate-side guides (14, 19). The disk-side guide (14) extends in the radial direction of the disk (7). A transmission shifting device (1) of this type is particularly compact and takes up only little structural space.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement (1) for a tachometric sensor of an automatic transmission (4) of a motor vehicle, which encompasses a module carrier (2) in which a part of a sensor housing (3) is integrated. The sensor housing (3) is secured in the module carrier (2) or in the transmission housing (4) by way of a guide in the plane and is so affixed as to prevent turning and an apparatus (5) for the generation of a prestress force by way of which the sensor housing (3) is pressed in the direction of the signal disk by way of a projection (8, 8?) acting against the sensor housing (3).
