Abstract:
A dual clutch transmission for motor vehicles has first and second input shafts, two clutches selectively coupling the input shafts the engine, two intermediate shafts arranged parallel to the transmission input shafts, gearwheel pairs configured to transmit power between the input shafts and the intermediate shafts, and output gearwheels arranged on each of the two intermediate shafts. The output gearwheels mesh with the differential wheel and are selectively coupled to the respective intermediate shaft by one of the coupling devices. An additional intermediate gearwheel set is provided, that one gearwheel of the intermediate gearwheel set is seated on the first or second intermediate shaft, that the other gearwheel of the inter-mediate wheel set is arranged on a third intermediate shaft, and that a third output gearwheel, which meshes with one of the output gearwheels of the first or second intermediate shaft, is seated on the third intermediate shaft.
