Transmission for the transmission of rotational energy from a drive shaft to an output shaft, comprising: - a first transmission stage with a first drive gearwheel on the driveshaft and a first output gear wheel on the output shaft, which first output gear wheel is in engagement with the first drive gearwheel; and - a second transmission stage with a second drive gearwheel on the drive shaft and a second output gear wheel on the output shaft, which second output gearwheel is in engagement with the second drive gearwheel, - a transmission ratio of the first transmission stage being different from a transmission ratio of the second transmission stage, - an actuating apparatus (38, 54) for the simultaneous engagement of the first transmission stage and the second transmission stage, with the result that the first transmission stage and the second transmission stage are mutually locked, the actuating apparatus (38, 54) being mounted such that it can be displaced axially with respect to the output shaft, and it therefore being possible for different positions to be moved to sequentially, - a first connecting element (16, 60) for connecting the first output gearwheel to the output shaft in a positively locking manner in a locking position of the actuating apparatus (38, 54); and - a second connecting element (36, 62) for connecting the second output gearwheel to the output shaft in a positively locking manner in the locking position of the actuating apparatus (38, 54), characterized in that the transmission comprises a third connecting element for connecting the second output gear wheel to the output shaft in a positively locking manner in a drive position of the actuating apparatus (38, 54), the second connecting element (36, 62) being arranged between the first connecting element (16, 60) and the third connecting element. - a first transmission stage with a first drive gearwheel on the driveshaft and a first output gear wheel on the output shaft, which first output gear wheel is in engagement with the first drive gearwheel; and - a second transmission stage with a second drive gearwheel on the drive shaft and a second output gear wheel on the output shaft, which second output gearwheel is in engagement with the second drive gearwheel, - a transmission ratio of the first transmission stage being different from a transmission ratio of the second transmission stage, - an actuating apparatus (38, 54) for the simultaneous engagement of the first transmission stage and the second transmission stage, with the result that the first transmission stage and the second transmission stage are mutually locked, the actuating apparatus (38, 54) being mounted such that it can be displaced axially with respect to the output shaft, and it therefore being possible for different positions to be moved to sequentially, - a first connecting element (16, 60) for connecting the first output gearwheel to the output shaft in a positively locking manner in a locking position of the actuating apparatus (38, 54); and - a second connecting element (36, 62) for connecting the second output gearwheel to the output shaft in a positively locking manner in the locking position of the actuating apparatus (38, 54),
