The invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of a clutch positioned between a drive engine and a manual gear mechanism in the power train of a motor vehicle. According to said method, any actuation of the gear lever of the gear mechanism is detected and, if certain requirements are met, identified as an intention to change gears, after which the clutch is opened if an intention to change gears has been identified. The conditions determining identification of an intention to change gears are modified when such an intention to change gears is identified for longer than a predetermined period or if more than a predetermined number of intentions to change gears is identified during a predetermined period or if the motor vehicle is travelling on a poor road which results in relative movements between the gear lever and gear mechanism or if a play between the gear lever and gear elements within the gear mechanism changes. |
