Patent ID: 8151662

Claim:
A transmission comprising: a first input shaft; a second input shaft; a first input clutch adapted to drivingly couple a power source to the first input shaft; a second input clutch adapted to drivingly couple the power source to the second input shaft; a countershaft; first, third and fifth drive gears driven by the first input shaft; second, fourth and sixth drive gears driven by the second input shaft; first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth driven gears selectively driving the countershaft, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth drive gears being in meshed engagement with the corresponding first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth driven gears; a power take-off unit having a gear in constant meshed engagement with one of the first through sixth driven gears; and first through sixth synchronizer clutches individually associated with the respective first through sixth drive or driven gears to provide first through sixth gear drive ratios to the countershaft, each synchronizer clutch being selectively actuated by an associated first through sixth electric actuator.
