Abstract

The disclosure relates to a transmission mechanism with at least two gearwheels that can be brought into form-fitting engagement with one another. One of the gearwheels is designed as a movable gear and, in a disengaged position, is arranged in a freely rotatable manner on a transmission shaft. The other of the gearwheels is designed as a fixed gear and is arranged non-rotatably on a further transmission shaft, the movable gear is connectable non-rotatably to the transmission shaft by a clutch unit and at least one transmission gear can be engaged if a clutch toothing of the clutch unit engages in a form-fitting manner in a toothing of the movable gear in a tooth-on-tooth-gap position. A sensor device detects a rotational speed signal incoming into the other transmission shaft and a rotational speed signal outgoing from the transmission shaft.
