Abstract
An automatic multiple-gear transmission, in particular a power-bifurcated auxiliary transmission for motor vehicles, is described, in which several power paths are provided in a transmission housing () between a transmission input shaft () and a transmission output shaft () for the shifting of gears. The gears are presented with several conversion devices () that can be hooked up via control elements () into a power flow. At least one of the conversion devices () is located at least partially in a transmission housing () in such a way that the radial and tangential forces can be transmitted directly to the housing when the conversion device () is hooked up.
