  • Patent number: 8322251
    Abstract: A transmission arrangement (1) with at least two countershafts for a vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle is proposed, such that an auxiliary drive output (10) can be coupled by means of a torque-transmitting element (11) to a first countershaft (7), and such that a second countershaft (8) can be coupled with a transmission brake device (12) to bring about load equalization between the countershafts (7, 8) when the auxiliary output (10) is coupled to the first countershaft (7). In addition, a method is proposed for load equalization between the countershafts (7, 8) of a transfer transmission when an auxiliary output (10) is engaged, such that in a first shift position of a main group (2) of the transfer transmission, in which the second countershaft (8), not coupled to the auxiliary output (10), is free from load, a load torque is applied to the second countershaft (8) for load equalization.
