Method for shifting a dual clutch transmission

The method involves forming two power transmissions from a transmission input shaft (3) towards a transmission output shaft (17) by two clutches (8, 9) and two drive shafts (5, 7). Objective gears are switched into supporting gears at a short period when the objective gears and source gears are assigned to the drive shafts. An uninterrupted reduction of transferred clutch moment at the clutches, which are assigned to source gear, to the value zero is started before closing of the clutch assigned to the supporting gears is started.
