A method and a device for controlling starting, driving and shifting processes of a motor vehicle with a drive motor (2) and a gearshift (6), which can be brought into effective drive connection with one another using a starting and shifting clutch (4), with a clutch actuation device (25, 26) as well as with a control apparatus (13) which stands in connection with a power element of the same for controlling the power of the drive motor (2), and which is connected using signal engineering with sensors (14, 17, 19, 21) which ascertain an accelerator deflection angle (A), a motor rotational speed (C) and a transmission input shaft rotational speed (E).
