The torque is passed into the double clutch via the drive plate. From there, the torque is transferred via the driving disc, pressure plate 1 and clutch disc 1 onto the input shaft (core shaft). The input shaft (core shaft) transmits the torque to the first gear of the output shaft (1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th gear). The torque is transmitted to the differential via the output pinion.
