An assembly includes a transmission and an electric machine for a hybrid drive of a motor vehicle, and the transmission is a multi-stage standard transmission with first and second subtransmissions, each of which has a separate input shaft and shares an output shaft. Both input shafts are coupled to the shared output shaft via form locking shift elements of the subtransmissions. The assembly includes a first shiftable clutch which is allocated to a first input shaft such that the internal combustion engine is coupled to the first input shaft via the first shiftable clutch, and a second shiftable clutch which is allocated to the second input shaft such that the electric machine is coupled to the second input shaft via the second shiftable clutch. The electric machine is coupled to the internal combustion engine via a third shiftable clutch, and to the first input shaft via a fourth shiftable clutch.

A manual transmission unit has one transmission input shaft, one transmission output shaft, a first intermediate shaft, a second intermediate shaft, a plurality of gear wheels, of which a first and a second drive gear wheel are arranged on the transmission input shaft and connectable in a rotationally fixed manner thereto, in particular in a permanently rotationally fixed manner thereto, and a plurality of torque transmission units for selective connection of additional gear wheels to at least one of the intermediate shafts. The first drive gear wheel intermeshes together with two intermediate wheels and the second drive gear wheel intermeshes together with two additional intermediate wheels. At least two, preferably at least three and more preferably at least four of the intermediate wheels are selectively connectible to the intermediate shafts for power transmission.

Provided a transmission including a first shaft, a second shaft connected thereto via a shift gear mechanism provided to a first shaft and generating a rotary output corresponding to a selected shift gear, a planetary gear mechanism, a transmission case for housing the planetary gear mechanism and a mounting member for fixing a ring gear of the planetary gear mechanism to the case. To the mounting member, an abutment support portion is formed for supporting the case by abutting to an inter-shaft portion positioned between the first shaft and the second shaft in the case.

A drive unit for a hybrid vehicle includes a drive assembly with an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, and a transmission featuring several sub-transmissions shifting between the drive assembly and an output. Through a planetary transmission, the electric motor is coupled to an input shaft of a first sub-transmission and an input shaft of a second sub-transmission. Through a separating clutch, the internal combustion engine is to the input shaft of the first sub-transmission and, if the separating clutch is locked, is coupled to the same element of the planetary transmission as the input shaft of the first sub-transmission. A bypass shift element works with the planetary transmission such that, with a locked bypass shift element, a torque-proof connection between the electric motor, the input shaft of the first sub-transmission and the input shaft of the second sub-transmission exist, while, with an open bypass shift element, this torque-proof connection between the electric motor and the two input shafts of the two sub-transmissions does not exist. The separating clutch is formed as a frictional-locking or positive-locking separating clutch, and the bypass shift element is formed as a frictional-locking bypass shift element.

A transmission includes a transmission housing, five co-planar gear sets, a transmission input shaft, an output member, a first and second countershaft, and five synchronizer assemblies. The five synchronizer assemblies are selectively engaged to establish one of at least seven forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio between the transmission input shaft member and the output member.

A transmission unit for a hybrid motor vehicle, has a planetary gearing. The planetary gearing is fitted with a first planetary wheel set and a second planetary wheel set. The transmission unit also includes an electric machine, which is coupled with a component part of the planetary gearing, and a plurality of switching devices, each of which forming a brake or a clutch, and each being movable between an activated position and a deactivated position. The switching devices are operatively installed for switching various transmission ratios between an input, which can be coupled with an internal combustion engine, and an output, and/or between the electric machine and the output. No more than four switching devices are present for implementing at least two different transmission ratios in a drive state of the internal combustion engine, at least one transmission ratio in a drive state of the electric machine, and at least one transmission ratio in a recuperation state of the electric machine, as a result of their activated and deactivated positions.

A hybrid drive of a motor vehicle has an internal combustion engine, an electric machine, and a transmission. The transmission is a multi-stage shifting transmission including two subtransmissions, each of which has a separate input shaft and a common output shaft. The first input shaft of a first subtransmission can be coupled to the internal combustion engine via a friction-locking clutch in such a way that when the clutch is engaged the internal combustion engine is coupled to the first input shaft and thus to the first subtransmission, and when the clutch is disengaged the internal combustion engine is decoupled from the first input shaft and thus decoupled from the first subtransmission. A second input shaft of a second subtransmission is rigidly coupled to the electric machine, and both input shafts can be coupled selectively to the common output shaft via form-locking shift elements of the subtransmissions.

The invention relates to a speed-change gearbox for a motor vehicle, provided with shiftable gearwheel sets (gears), which are arranged in a first and in a second sub-gearbox, wherein the sub-gearboxes are provided respectively with at least one input shaft and a common drive shaft and the input shaft that can be alternately activated via a power shiftable clutch. In order to achieve a functionally expanded shifting strategy, it is proposed that at least one gearwheel set can be associated with both sub-gearboxes.

A method for determining transmission and/or clutch parameters of a motor vehicle automatic transmission having at least one clutch, in particular for basic calibration of the transmission, in particular an automated manual transmission and/or a dual-clutch transmission, includes determining drag torque and/or kiss point of the clutch using an actuable synchronization device. The clutch has at least one drive side connected to an internal combustion engine output shaft and at least one output side connected to a transmission input shaft. The transmission output and/or drive shaft is blocked. The drive side of the clutch is driven. Basic calibration of the transmission is improved by driving the drive side of the clutch by an electric motor, providing a freewheel-shifted gear stage, and driving the drive side of the clutch by the electric motor in a rotation direction opposite the internal combustion engine output shaft.

A method to control a road vehicle provided with a clutch, which connects an internal combustion engine to drive wheels and is arranged upstream of a servo-assisted transmission; the control method comprises the steps of: checking whether the tyres of the drive wheels are close to a grip limit; and opening the clutch so that the clutch transmits a torque to the drive wheels with a slip of the clutch that is constant and other than zero when the tyres of the drive wheels are close to the grip limit.
