Shifting the gears  
As in the case of conventional manual gearboxes,  
the gears are shifted using selector forks.  
Each selector fork shifts two gears.  
The selector forks are mounted on both sides in the  
gearbox housing.

When changing gears, the selector forks are moved  
via the gear selectors integrated into the mechatronic  
unit.  
Gear selectors and selector forks  
The gear selector piston is connected to the selector  
fork. To change gears, oil pressure is applied to the  
gear selector piston, thereby moving it. When it  
moves, it also moves the selector fork and the sliding  
sleeve. The sliding sleeve actuates the synchronising  
hub and the gear is engaged.
