Abstract
A multiple-step transmission for vehicle with a drive engine has several speed steps with corresponding pairs of gear wheels. The first speed step is arranged within the transmission so that it can also be used for transfer of driving force during shifting. In addition, special methods are described for carrying out shifting procedures with the aid of the highest or lowest gear.
