Design of the gearbox -> Basic principle for Your Volkswagen Touran 4 Door First Generation (2003-2015)

Design of the gearbox  
Basic principle  
In principle, the double-clutch gearbox consists of two  
independent, gear train halves.  
Gears 1, 3, 5 and 7 are shifted via clutch K1 and  
therefore via gear train half 1 and output shaft 1.  
In terms of function, each gear train half is designed  
as a manual gearbox. A clutch is assigned to each  
gear train half.  
Gears 2, 4, 6 and reverse gear are conducted via  
clutch K2 and therefore gear train half 2 and output  
shafts 2 and 3.  
The two clutches are dry clutches.  
One gear train half is always positively connected.  
The next gear can already be shifted in the other gear  
train half, because the clutch for this gear is still open.  
They are opened and closed and controlled by the  
mechatronic unit depending on the gear which is to  
be shifted.  
lk  
A conventional, manual gearbox synchroniser and  
shift unit is assigned to each gear.
