Abstract: A double clutch transmission with a double clutch, the input side of which can be driven and the output sides each communicate with one of two transmission input shafts that are arranged coaxially relative to one another, with an intermediate shaft and with fixed or idler gears that are mounted or rotatably supported on the shafts, and with shifting units that are allocated to the idler gears, with which the idler gears can be non-rotatably connected to the properly allocated shaft for the purpose of realizing gear ratio. To allow a more cost-effective production of this type of transmission, the fixed gears for the reverse gear and first gear are arranged axially directly in front each other on the same transmission input shaft, or that the fixed gears for the reverse gear and for the first gear are designed as a single common fixed gear.

Abstract: A known device for increasing the functional reliability for a hydraulic circuit of a hydraulic clutch having a pressure reservoir (25) and a release cylinder (5) which comprises a primary piston (14) and a secondary piston (16). A compensation volume is developed in the sense that when the vehicle is at a standstill and the parking brake released, an unintentional release of the clutch is prevented. A pressure-monitoring/pressure-supply device (28) is used for determining a reference operating pressure and establishes a static pressure which, in case of any system error, only allows displacement of the secondary piston (16) such that the contact pressure of the clutch discs, against one another, is still sufficient to maintain the vehicle at a standstill.

Abstract: An apparatus and a process for the prevention of the rollback of a vehicle with a vehicle braking system (18), wherein a braking system (18) comprises a vehicle brake pressure modifying apparatus (20); a device (28, 34, 36) which are enabled to recognize a forward movement of the vehicle, and a brake control apparatus (16), which is connected to the vehicle brake pressure modifying apparatus (20) and the device (28). There is generated in the control apparatus (16) a signal which, upon a standstill of the vehicle, activates a brake and sensor combination (8, 28) which acts upon a transmission (2) of the vehicle, the brake and the sensor combination (8, 28) being supplementary to the brakes of the vehicle brake system (18) and, upon a recognition of a forward motion of the vehicle, the braking fluid pressure in the vehicle brake pressure modifying apparatus (20) is reduced and thus the brake and the sensor combination (8, 28) acting upon the transmission is released.

Abstract: A shifting device for shifting a transmission with a shifting shaft upon which a plurality of shifting forks are located in an axial, slidable manner for carry out desired shifting procedures. The shifting device includes a selection apparatus for choosing the shifting fork to be activated for carrying out the shifting procedure and a blocking mechanism, which prevents movement of each of the non-chosen shifting forks. The blocking mechanism is located on an additional shaft which extends parallel to the shifting shaft and supports elements of the selection apparatus. A first actuator axially displaces the shifting shaft, when carrying out of the shifting procedure, and another actuator causes the additional shaft to rotate for choosing a desired the shifting fork to carry out the shifting procedure and for preventing movement of non-chosen shifting forks.

Abstract: A clutch arrangement in an automatic transmission, comprising two axially adjacent multi-disk clutches (B, E) to each is assigned a piston/cylinder arrangement for axially actuating the clutch, a pressure compensation space for a dynamic clutch actuation pressure compensation and a mechanism for supplying lubricant or cooling medium. The aim is to reduce the axial overall length of a transmission of this type. The disk packets of both clutches (B, E) are placed one above the other in a radial manner, the pressure compensation space (25) for the radially outer clutch (B) is permitted to axially border on the pressure space (8) for actuating the piston (17) of the radially inner clutch (E), and the lubricant or cooling medium flow (30) for the radially outer clutch (B) is directly tapped from the pressure compensation space (25) for actuating the outer clutch (B).

Abstract: A braking method for a vehicle is proposed as a safety measure and replacement function if the brake system fails, in particular the X-by-wire brake system of a motor vehicle, in which the vehicle is braked with the help of the transmission by a defined engagement of frictional shift elements until the vehicle comes to rest, such that the combination of frictional shift elements actuated when the vehicle's working brake system fails does not correspond to the shift logic of a gear during normal driving operation of the vehicle.
