A transmission for a vehicle includes a primary transmission arrangement, a transmission housing, an input shaft, and an output shaft. The primary transmission arrangement includes a first, second and third planetary gear set each including a first, a second and a third planetary member, said planetary members being a sun gear, a planet carrier and a ring gear. The transmission arrangement further includes five shift elements engageable in combinations of two to obtain six forward gear stages, wherein the ring gear of the first planetary gear set and the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set are operatively connected to each other, the ring gear of the second planetary gear set and the planet carrier of the third planetary gear set are operatively connected to each other, and two planetary members of the third planetary gear set are selectively connectable to each other.
