This double clutch provides an alternating, non-positive connection between the two semi-gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts (input shaft 1 is nested inside the hollowed-out input shaft 2). The flow of power from the engine is only transmitted through one semi-gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second semigearbox. During a gear change, therefore, a conventional shift no longer takes place. Instead, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time. Gear changes, therefore, take place within hundredths of a second. Clutch 1 controls the first semigearbox, which contains the odd gears (1, 3, 5, 7) and Reverse. Clutch 2 controls the second, which contains the even gears (2, 4, 6).
