  • Method and device for the internal oiling of a gear shaft that is arranged coaxially to the oil pump of a gearbox and drives the oil pump
    Patent number: 9188216
    Abstract: A method for the internal oiling of a transmission shaft (1) which is positioned coaxially with the oil pump (2) of a transmission (13) and drives the oil pump (2). The transmission shaft (1) is internally oiled or lubricated using leakage oil which is already present from the oil pump (2) which is integrated in the transmission (13).

  • Manual transmission for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 8850913
    Abstract: A manual transmission of a motor vehicle, is actuated by manually shifting a shift lever in a gearshift console having a selector gate and shifting gates in a multiple-H shifting pattern, with coaxial input and output shafts and a parallel countershaft, and with a number of gearset planes. Transmission gears are implemented by engaging at least two associated gear clutches. The gear clutches are divided into a selection group and a shifting group. The selection group gear clutches can be actuated exclusively by moving the shift lever in the selection gate so as to couple the input and counter-shafts. The shifting group gear clutches can be actuated exclusively by moving the shift lever in the shifting gates so as to couple the output and counter-shafts, and the gear clutch respectively engaged in the shifting gates having the two opposite gears is a selection group gear clutch.
