Abstract: Controlling a multiplate clutch situated between an input shaft and an output shaft for the switchable transmission of torques, wherein in the event of a torque request and a subsequent engagement of the multiplate clutch, includes: a) determining a setpoint engagement force, acting in an axial direction, of the multiplate clutch for transmitting a setpoint torque to the output shaft; b) determining and setting a limiting engagement force that is less than the setpoint engagement force, and c) setting the setpoint engagement force in a time-delayed manner; wherein a transmission of an actual torque is achieved by limiting the setpoint engagement force to the limiting engagement force, so that a maximum actual torque that is transmitted upon engagement of the multiplate clutch exceeds a setpoint torque to be transmitted by at most 5%.
