Claim:
A manual transmission ( 1 ) of a motor vehicle which is actuatable by a manual shifting device, the manual transmission ( 1 ) comprising: a gearshift console ( 6 ) with a selection gate ( 7 ) in the form of a transverse slot and a plurality of shifting gates ( 8 a , 8 b , 8 c , 8 d , 8 e ) in the form of longitudinal slots for guiding a shift lever in a multiple-H shifting pattern ( 5 ); an input shaft ( 2 ); an output shaft ( 3 ) arranged coaxially with and behind the input shaft ( 2 ); a countershaft ( 4 ) arranged with an axis thereof extending parallel to the input and the output shafts ( 2 , 3 ); gearwheels arranged in a number of gearset planes (a, b, c, d, e, f), which comprise fixed wheels (a 2 , b 2 , c 2 , d 2 , e 2 , f 2 ) or loose wheels (a 1 , b 1 , c 1 , d 1 , e 1 , f 1 ) arranged on the input shaft, the output shaft and the countershaft ( 2 , 3 , 4 ) or able to be coupled, in a rotationally fixed manner, to the input shaft, the output shaft and the countershaft ( 2 , 3 , 4 ) by gear clutches (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , S 4 , S 5 , S 6 , S 7 ); transmission gears being engaged by engagement, in each case, of at least two of the gear clutches (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , S 4 , S 5 , S 6 , S 7 ), the shifting gates ( 8 b , 8 c , 8 d ) that have opposite gears, in each case, one of the gear clutches (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 ) is engaged in the two opposite gears, the gear clutches (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , S 4 , S 5 , S 6 , S 7 ) are divided into a selection group and a shifting group, such that: the gear clutches (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 ) of the selection group are exclusively actuatable by selection movements of the shift lever in the selection gate ( 7 ) so that the input shaft ( 2 ) is coupled to the countershaft ( 4 ), and the gear clutches (S 4 , S 5 , S 6 , S 7 ) of the shifting group are exclusively actuatable by shifting movements of the shift lever in the shifting gates ( 8 a , 8 b , 8 c , 8 d , 8 e ) so that the output shaft ( 3 ) is coupled to the countershaft ( 4 ), and the gear clutch (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 ) respectively engaged in the two opposite gears in the shifting gates ( 8 b , 8 c , 8 d ) that have opposite gears is a gear clutch of the selection group wherein six gearset planes (a, b, c, d, e, f) are arranged so as to produce seven forward gears ( 1 G, 2 G, 3 G, 4 G, 5 G, 6 G, 7 G) and at least one reverse gear (R 1 ), all the loose wheels (a 1 , b 1 , c 1 , d 1 , e 1 , f 1 ) and all the gear clutches (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , S 4 , S 5 , S 6 , S 7 ) are arranged on the input shaft ( 2 ) and the output shaft ( 3 ) and all the fixed wheels (a 2 , b 2 , c 2 , d 2 , e 2 , f 2 ) are arranged on the countershaft ( 4 ).
