The invention relates to a method for shifting gears of a transmission (1) of a motor vehicle, said transmission having an input side (11, 21, 31, 41) and an output side (13, 23, 33, 43) respectively At least two friction-locking shifting devices (10, 20, 30, 40), wherein the rotational speed of the input side (11, 21, 31, 41) and the rotational speed of the output side (11, 21, 31, 41 ) between each other defines a slip coefficient (S), and wherein each of said shifting devices (10, 20, 30, 40) has at least one power shift state in which the input side (11, 21, 31, 41) and output side (13, 23, 33, 43) are interconnected to transmit torque; and an idle shift state in which the input side (11, 21, 31, 41) and output sides (11, 21, 31, 41) are substantially disconnected from each other, and wherein a first of said shifting devices (10) is switched from its power shifting state to its idle shifting state, or reverse shifting, and the second shifting device in the shifting device (20) is shifted from its idle shifting state to its power shifting state according to its slip coefficient (S20) in the following cases state, or reverse shifting, that is, when the slip coefficient (S20) after zero crossing, especially in the sense of slip reversal, has a different Another symbol in between.
