Programmable clutch device for motor vehicle to protect against defective operation, is located between input and output shafts in vehicle drive mechanism with controllable automatic gearbox to work together with the engine

摘要

Positions for gearshift and operating status for a motor vehicle drive engine can be detected and gearshift can be operated. A clutch device shifts into different gear positions to operate controllable devices. A measuring/control device picks up input signals from sensors detecting clutch operations and transmits output signals to move the clutch device/automatic gearbox into a pre-determined gearshift according to pre-determined characteristics. An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling a motor vehicle with an electrically triggered automatic gearbox and an electrically triggered clutch device.
