A manual transmission includes a coaxially arranged input shaft and output shaft, a first intermediate shaft and parallel second intermediate shaft, spaced from the input shaft, a drive side gear pair with a drive gear rotationally fixed on the input shaft and an intermediate gear rotationally fixed on the first intermediate shaft, and an output side gear pair with a second intermediate gear rotationally fixed on the second intermediate shaft and an output gear rotationally fixed on the output shaft, wherein, drive torque is transferred from the input shaft to the output shaft over the drive side gear pair, while no drive torque is transferred over the output side gear pair and, with at least three other switchable gears, drive torque is transmitted from the input shaft to the output shaft over the output side gear pair, while no drive torque is transmitted over the drive side gear pair.
