A twin-clutch transmission that can always effectively reduce gear shift shock and a collision sound even under the existence of variation attributed to component tolerance and change over the ages attributed to wear. A twin-clutch transmission calculates a rotational speed difference (|NaNb|) between an odd-stage main shaft rotational speed (Na) and an even-stage main shaft rotational speed (Nb) and learns synchronization start gear shift drive displacement (s) detected by a gear shift drive displacement detecting unit at the timing at which the rotational speed difference (|NaNb|) reaches a predetermined synchronization start determination rotational speed difference (Ds) from gear shift start. The twin-clutch transmission controls an actuator on the basis of the learned synchronization start gear shift drive displacement (s).

Disclosed herein is a gear actuator for a double clutch transmission, which includes a power module (100), including odd and even-numbered stage select solenoids and shift motors, a controller directly connected to them, and select levers connected to select rods of the select solenoids, shift modules (200) for transmitting the rotational forces of the shift motors to a control shaft assembly (300), the control shaft assembly (300) for transmitting the operating force of the power module (100) to a shift lug, and a body housing (400) having the power module (100), the shift modules (200), and the control shaft assembly (300) installed therein. Accordingly, the gear actuator can have a more compact structure and be easily assembled by modularization.

An actuation device for a motor vehicle having a transmission with gear steps and a friction clutch for automated actuation of both the transmission and the friction clutch, where the actuation device has an actuator device with whose help both a rotational movement and a translational movement is executable, in order to improve the actuation device in terms of construction and/or function.

Disclosed herein is a shift device of a dual clutch transmission capable of simplifying a configuration of a shift control mechanism of the transmission and contributing to saving costs by sharing odd-stage and even-stage select mechanisms and individually including an odd-stage shift mechanism and an even-stage shift mechanism. The shift device of a dual clutch transmission includes: a select guide block (20) moving in a straight direction by a driving of the select motor (10); a pair of control shafts (50) and (60) each shaft moving in a select direction by the straight movement of the select guide block; and a pair of odd-stage and even-stage shift motors (30) and (40) each providing a shaft rotating force to the pair of control shafts (50) and (60) in a shift direction.

Methods and systems for operating a driveline that includes a dual clutch transmission are described. In one example, clutches of the dual clutch transmission may be cooled via activating and adjusting a flow rate of an electric pump. Further, driveline operating modes may be entered or exited in response to clutch operating conditions so that driveline robustness may be enhanced.

A power unit for a vehicle includes an engine that is a power source, a gear shift apparatus, a twin clutch type transmission that intermittently switches power transmission between the engine and the gear shift apparatus, and a clutch actuator that controls intermittent switching of the twin clutch type transmission, the engine includes a crankcase and a pair of cylinders installed on the crankcase so that a V-bank is formed therebetween, and the clutch actuator is installed on the cylinders so that the clutch actuator overlaps a region of the V-bank.

Methods and systems are provided for adapting a pressure to torque transfer function of a clutch of a dual clutch transmission. In one example, a method includes operating a first clutch of the dual clutch transmission at a selected capacity to change a speed of a first transmission input shaft to a desired speed, adjusting values of a torque transfer function of the first clutch based on a rate of the speed change, and maintaining driver demanded wheel torque during the adjusting via controlling torque output of an electric motor positioned in the driveline. In this way, the method may be used to adapt both positive and negative torque transfer functions.

A method of setting a reference position of an actuator in an automated manual transmission includes: performing Hall signal comparison by comparing, by a controller, a signal value of Hall sensors with a reference signal value; performing first movement by moving, by the controller, a finger of the actuator to a first end in a shifting direction by a preset distance if the signal values are identical; performing a first selection checking by checking whether selecting operation is enabled; performing a second movement by moving the finger to a second end in the shifting direction by a distance that is twice the preset distance if selecting operation is not enabled; performing a second selection checking by checking whether selecting operation is enabled; and performing a third movement by moving the finger to the first end in the shifting direction by the preset distance if selecting operation is not enabled.

An actuating device for the selection and/or actuation of a gear ratio of a motor vehicle transmission and for engaging and/or disengaging a motor vehicle clutch, having a drive motor which drives a drive shaft that is connectible non-rotatingly to a gear selector drum of a transmission actuating device to move and/or rotate the gear selector drum, the gear selector drum also being connected to a transmission, and having a clutch actuating device which controls a release bearing of a clutch, wherein a master cylinder of the clutch actuating device, which is connected hydraulically to a slave cylinder that moves the release bearing, is actuatable depending on the position of the drive shaft, wherein an actuating segment which protrudes in the radial direction from the drive shaft is connected non-rotatingly to the drive shaft and the actuating segment actuates the master cylinder when the drive shaft is rotated in at least one direction of rotation, as well as to a drivetrain having such an actuating device is provided.
