Item Description
1 Shift lever
2 Actuating shaft
3 Torsion spring
4 Lock wheel with tooth gaps
5 Lock pawl

There is a parking lock integrated in the second output shaft for safe parking of the vehicle and to prevent it from rolling away when the parking brake is not applied.

A parking lock needs to be installed since both clutches are opened after the engine is switched off.

The parking lock is engaged by moving the selector lever to the P  position. As a result, the lock pawl (5) engages in a tooth gap on the lock wheel (4).

If the lock pawl (5) is positioned against a tooth of the lock wheel (4), then the torsion spring (3) on the actuation shaft is tensioned. If the vehicle moves, the lock pawl (5) engages in the next tooth gap on the lock wheel (4) under the effects of the releasing torsion spring (3).
