Abstract

A multi-speed transmission with hydraulically actuated shift rods, wherein an actuating pressure (p_B) is applicable by a valve device () and shuttle valves (C toD) to piston chambers (A toB) of pistons (to), the actuating pressure being adjustable by valves (). The piston chambers (A toB) can be brought into operative connection with a low-pressure region () by the shuttle valves (C toD) and a prefilling valve () or by the shuttle valves (C toD), the valve device (), and the valves (). Each of the shuttle valves (C toD) has a spring assembly (E toF), by which the shuttle valves (C toD) are held below a pressure threshold of the actuating pressure (p_B) in an operating state that connects the piston chambers (A toB) to the low-pressure region () by the prefilling valve ().
