Dual-clutch transmission for front-transverse applications

The present invention relates to a dual clutch transmission for motor vehicles. The object of the invention is to provide a power-shiftable sequentially double-clutch transmission having at least nine forward gears for vehicles with transversely mounted engines, which expands axially and radially compact and implements a harmonic Stufungsreihe for maximum comfort and traction. The object is achieved by a special transmission structure that uses only four planes, and four gear acting on both sides switching element units and a single switching element for forward gears. Furthermore, the diameter of the eight gears of the four gear levels through multiple gear meshing in gears one and two very low and the number of components is low by a multiple use to implement the forward gears in relation to the number of forward gear. In addition, a convenient translation history of the transmission can be achieved through the combination of gear ratios for the nine power shift forward gears.
