Zusammenfassung:An automated dual-clutch multi-speed transmission (10) is adapted to transfer power from an engine (12) to the driveline of a motor vehicle. The transmission includes an output shaft (32) adapted for connection to the driveline, an input shaft (20) continuously driven by the engine and offset from a position substantially parallel to the output shaft. A countershaft (26) is in constant driving engagement with the output shaft and is offset from and positioned substantially parallel to the input and output shafts. A first clutch (14) is operable for establishing a releasable drive connection between the input shaft and a first driven shaft (22). A second clutch (16) is operable for establishing a releasable drive connection between the input shaft and a second driven shaft (28). First and second gearset clutches (130, 132) are operable to releasably drivingly couple first and second gearsets (70, 76) to the countershaft.
