<p>A multiple-ratio power transmission for an engine-powered vehicle comprising a mainshaft (26) in a transmission housing connected drivably to a power output shaft (32), a first countershaft (36) disposed parallel to the mainshaft (26) and a second countershaft (68) mounted concentrically about the first countershaft (36);
first and second power input shafts (12,10), the first power input shaft (12) being mounted concentrically about the second power input shaft (10);
a headset gear assembly including first and second headset gears (22,18) connected drivably to the first and second power input shafts (12,10), respectively;
mainshaft gears (46,54,48,60) in meshing engagement with countershaft gears (76,84',64,62) to establish torque flow paths between the mainshaft (26) and the power input shafts (12,10);
the first headset gear (22) being in meshing engagement with a countershaft gear (78) for the first countershaft (36);
the second headset gear (18) being in meshing engagement with a countershaft gear (74) for the second countershaft (68);
a dual clutch assembly (C1,C2) for alternately establishing and disestablishing a torque flow path from an engine to the first and second headset gears (22,18);
first and second mainshaft bearings (28,30) for end supporting the mainshaft (26) within the housing; and
a third mainshaft bearing (42) disposed intermediate the first and second mainshaft bearings (28,30).</p> |
