In principle, the transmission comprises two independent gear trains.
During driving, one gear train is always positively connected and the next gear is already engaged in the other gear train (although the clutch for this gear is still open).
The input shaft is in two parts and forms the heart of the transmission. It consists of an outer input shaft (hollow shaft) and an inner input shaft (core shaft).
The input shaft (hollow shaft) drives the even-numbered gears (2nd, 4th and 6th gear) as well as the reverse gear (via an intermediate gear).
The input shaft (core shaft) drives the odd-numbered gears (1st, 3rd and 5th gear).
Each of the two input shafts is connected via outer splines to a clutch disc.
