Design of the gearbox

The clutches

Two independent, dry clutches operate in the double clutch. They each conduct the torque into one

gear train half. Two clutch positions are possible:

● When the engine is switched off and idling, both clutches are open.

● During vehicle operation, only one of the two clutches is ever closed.

Clutch K1

Clutch K1 conducts the torque for gears 1, 3, 5 and 7 to drive shaft 1.

How it works:

Clutch K1

To actuate the clutch, the engaging lever presses the engagement bearing onto the diaphragm spring.

At several relay points, this compression movement is transformed into a tension movement.

As a result of this, the pressure plate is pulled onto the clutch plate and the drive plate.

The torque is therefore transferred onto the drive shaft.

The engaging lever is actuated via valve 3 in gear train half 1 N435 by the hydraulic clutch actuator for K1.

How it works:

Clutch K2

If the engaging lever is actuated, the engagement bearing presses against the pressure plate's diaphragm spring.

As the diaphragm spring is supported by the clutch housing, the pressure plate is pressed against the drive plate

and the torque is transferred onto drive shaft 2.

The engaging lever is actuated via valve 3 in gear train half 2 N439 by the hydraulic clutch actuator for K2.
