Support for a coupling unit in a motor-vehicle transmission
The transmission comprises: a gearbox housed in a support housing (16) and having a pair of coaxial input shafts (11, 111), that is, an outer input shaft and an inner input shaft, respectively, a clutch unit (12) interposed between the gearbox and the crankshaft (14) and having a pair of clutches (13, 113) for permitting the transmission of torque between the crankshaft (14) and the respective gearbox input shaft (11, 111), and a pair of rolling bearings (60, 44), mounted on the gearbox support housing (16) and on the outer gearbox input shaft (111), respectively, for supporting the clutch unit (12) for rotation. The transmission is arranged in a manner such as to prevent the forces for actuating the clutches (13, 113) from acting on the crankshaft (14). <IMAGE>
