Patent ID: 7040186

Claim:
A parallel manual transmission for a four-wheel drive system comprising: two input shafts connected to two clutches which are disposed in a single housing, each of the input shafts can be non-rotatably coupled via the respective clutch to a shaft that is powered by a drive engine, an output shaft that is radially distanced from the input shafts and arranged parallel to the input shafts, gear wheels and shifting components arranged on the input shafts and the output shaft, the gear wheels can be non-rotatably connected to the input shafts and the output shaft through different gear pairings for shifting to different gears, a drive gear that is radially distanced from the output shaft and non-rotatably connected to a first output gear, which is arranged on the output shaft, the drive gear being designed to power a first drive shaft, which extends outward from the drive gear in the direction of the clutches and is oriented parallel to the input shafts and the output shaft of the transmission, and a second drive shaft that is powered by the output shaft and extends outward from the transmission on a side that faces away from the clutches, wherein each of the two input shafts has a plurality of gears which are in cooperative connection with the same output shaft to form different transmission ratios.
