    摘要: Methods and systems for a transmission are provided. In one example, the transmission includes an input shaft with a first pair of gears that reside thereon, a first clutch positioned between the first pair of gears and designed to selectively rotationally couple a selected gear in the first pair of gears to the input shaft, and a layshaft with a second pair of gears fixedly coupled thereto. The transmission further includes an output shaft with a third pair of gears that reside thereon and a second clutch positioned between the third pair of gears and designed to selectively rotationally couple a selected gear in the third pair of gears to the output shaft.
