Claim 4:
5. The transmission of claim 4, wherein the input-gear selector is positioned adjacent to the first coupler in a first configuration where torque applied to the input shaft in a first circumferential direction around the axis engages the first inner hub with the inner member of the first coupler to drive rotation of the first input gear with rotation of the input shaft, the outer hub and second inner hub are positioned adjacent to the second coupler while the first inner hub remains engaged with the first coupler in a second configuration where torque applied to the input shaft in the first direction drives rotation of the input-gear selector relative to the second coupler, the outer hub of the input-gear selector engages with the outer member of the second coupler in a third configuration where torque applied to the input shaft in the first direction drives rotation of the second input gear with rotation of the input shaft, and the first inner hub releases from the first coupler and moves toward the outer hub in a fourth configuration where torque applied to the input shaft in the first direction drives rotation of the input-gear selector relative to the first coupler.
