bass clarinet altissimo

hello,
I recently started playing bass clarinet. Initially I had some problems with the clarion register. I found it hard to produce a well projected tone, but by changing slightly my embouchure and after a lot of practise, I improved a lot.
I do have some problems with the altissimo register. I found out that the Bb fingerings work untill D, but then it gets all squeaky What I try instead is to simply overblow the notes, without any change in fingering, just by changing my voicing. This works , but it is quite random and not always secure.
Is this the right way to do it, or are there proper fingerings to play the altsissimo?
