Abstract

See full text

A dual-clutch transmission assembly is disclosed that splits the torque generated by an engine between first and second layshafts. A first input hub is connected to the first layshaft by a first clutch and a second input hub is connected to the second layshaft by a second clutch. A first gearset is carried on the first layshaft and a second gearset is carried on the second layshaft. The first gearset includes a primary first gear and the second gearset includes a duplicate first gear. The first and second layshafts receive torque from the transmission input shaft in response to contemporaneous engagement of the primary first gear, the duplicate first gear, and the first and second clutches, which can be used during vehicle launch to split the torque applied to the first and second clutches.
