An automated triple-clutch multi-speed transmission is adapted to transfer
power from the engine to the driveline of a motor vehicle. The
transmission includes a first clutch operable for establishing a
releasable drive connection between an input shaft and a first shaft, a
second clutch operable for establishing a releasable drive connection
between the input shaft and a second shaft and a third clutch operable
for establishing a releasable drive connection between the input shaft
and a third shaft. A first constant mesh gearset is driven by the first
shaft. A second constant mesh gearset is driven by the second shaft. A
third constant mesh gearset is driven by the third shaft. First, second
and third gearset clutches are operable for releasably drivingly coupling
the first, second and third gearsets to a countershaft which, in turn,
drives an output shaft.
