Transmission Concept

In principle, a Doppelkupplung transmission can be understood as a parallel-switched transmission made up of two fully synchronized shift-sleeve transmissions (transmission 1 and transmission 2).

Each transmission has its own clutch.
- Transmission 1, clutch K1 (outer clutch)
- Transmission 2, clutch K2 (inner clutch)

Transmission 1 switches the odd-numbered gears 1, 3, 5, 7 and reverse gear
Transmission 2 switches the even-numbered gears 2, 4 and 6

Basically, only one transmission is ever engaged via the relevant clutch when the vehicle is driving.
