A device for sealing a double clutch transmission of a motor vehicle, with a transmission housing, in which are arranged a clutch chamber with clutch oil and a double clutch, a transmission chamber with transmission oil and a double clutch transmission wheel set and two co-axial drive shafts disposed, one inside the other. One drive shaft is an interior central shaft which extends inside the transmission chamber from the end of the second hollow drive shaft. The two drive shafts each have a sealing element to seal the clutch chamber from the transmission chamber. A mounting component is situated inside and fixed to the transmission housing to support two adjacent sealing elements. A first sealing element forms a seal radially on the hollow drive shaft and a second sealing element forms a seal radially on the central drive shaft to provide a reliable seal and offer a simple ventilation and leakage detection.

Sealing device for a dual clutch transmission of a motor vehicle

A selector device for an automated or automatic transmission, in particular of a motor vehicle, has a selector lever which is adjustable in an automatic selector gate to switch between automatic operating positions and can be moved via a transverse gate into a tip-action selector gate in which it is adjustable to shift between transmission gears. Here, the selector lever has one stable operating position in the tip-action selector gate, to which stable operating position the selector lever automatically returns from all the labile positions of the three gates. To increase operating comfort and to increase operational safety, a transmission controller is configured such that, after an automatic operating position is selected, it only switches to the selected automatic operating state when the selector lever resumes its stable operating position.
