Abstract:
1. A transmission for a motor vehicle, said transmission comprising; a plurality of sets of gears defining transmission ratio steps, wherein each set of gears includes a first gear non-rotatably connected with a first shaft and an idler gear connected with a second shaft, whereby transmission ratio steps are engaged by connecting an idler gear with a first gear by means of a final output element that is part of a final output mechanism and that is actuated by the final output mechanism with which a shaft bearing said element is connected and whereby a shift sequence of the transmission ratio steps is not established in the final outout mechanism, a plurality of side-by-side shift rails for shifting gear steps, and a stop rail operatively engageable with the shift rails for selectively blocking a shift rail to prevent unintended engagement or disengagement of a gear group, and in which the final output mechanism includes at least one primary actuation element which enters into an operative connection with final output mechanisms such that a transmission ratio step is engageable using a first final output mechanism and the at least one primary actuation element then can enter into operative connection with another final output mechanism without having to disengage a previously engaged transmission ratio step, wherein the final output mechanism includes at least one secondary actuation element.
