The torque is fed into the double clutch via the drive plate. From there, the torque is transferred via the driving disc, pressure plate 2 and clutch disc 2 onto the input shaft (hollow shaft). The input shaft (hollow shaft) transmits the torque to the second gear of the output shaft (1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th gear). The gear wheel for the 2nd gear has a fixed connection to the intermediate gear, The intermediate gear transmits the torque to the reverse gear wheel of the output shaft (3rd, 4th and reverse gear). The torque is transmitted to the differential via the output pinion.
