1. A method for operating a multi-gear vehicle transmission that includes shifting elements for engaging gears of the vehicle transmission, the method comprising:
decoupling a transmission drive input from a transmission drive output of the vehicle transmission when in a neutral gear, wherein some of the shifting elements of a driving gear are already actuated;
coupling the transmission drive input and the transmission drive output of the vehicle transmission while in the driving gear by closing the shifting elements associated with the driving gear, in order to propel the vehicle;
determining whether a transmission condition with elevated drag losses exists when the neutral gear is engaged; and
closing a shifting element of the vehicle transmission associated with a reversing gear if the transmission condition with elevated drag losses exists, in addition to the shifting elements actuated in the neutral gear.
