Method and device for disengagement of a clutch device

A control unit (100) receives a control signal (S) indicating the initiation of a release procedure and generates, in response thereto during an activation interval, an adjustment signal (Adj) in such a way that a temporary deviation from an engine rpm (M) delivered to the drive shaft (111) of a combustion engine (110) is brought about. Thereafter the control unit (100) inhibits the generation of the adjustment signal (Adj). The temporary deviation during the activation interval is suitable for facilitating the release of a clutch device (120) on the drive shaft (111) so that, for example, a gear shift in a gearbox (13) is facilitated.
