Abstract
A double clutch transmission with two clutches connected to a drive shaft and to one of two transmission input shafts. Fixed gears are coupled to the input shafts and engage idler gears. Several coupling devices connect the idler gears to a countershaft which have an output gear that couple with gears of an output shaft such that forward and reverse gears can be shifted. Two dual gear planes each comprise two idler gears, each supported by a respective countershaft, and one fixed gear. In each dual gear plane, at least one idler gear is used for two gears. Two single gear planes each comprise an idler gear and a fixed gear such that at least one winding-path gear is shifted via a shifting device on the second countershaft, and at least one winding-path gear is shifted via a non-engaged coupling device, assigned to an output gear wheel on the first countershaft.
