Disclosed is a method for optimizing the shifting process in a multispeed transmission (16) that is mounted in a motor vehicle, especially an automatic transmission (16) that has several gear steps which can be engaged and disengaged by means of respective clutches (36, 44). Said method comprises the following steps: a tolerance-dependent and/or wear-dependent parameter of a clutch (36, 44) of the multispeed transmission (16) is detected; a setpoint displacement value (SPun; APun) of a shifting member (46, 50) of the clutch (36, 44), which corresponds to said parameter and is approached in the course of a shifting process, is set in accordance with the value of the detected parameter, and/or an event that corresponds to the parameter is triggered.
