A system for a driveline is provided. In one example a driveline may include a first and a second input shaft gear disposed on an input shaft. In one example, the first input shaft gear may selectively drivingly engage with the input shaft via a first clutch and the second input shaft gear may selectively drivingly engage with the input shaft via a second clutch. In another example, a first and a second counter shaft gear may be disposed on a countershaft and drivingly engage with the countershaft, wherein the first input shaft gear drivingly engages with the first countershaft gear and the second input shaft gear is drivingly engages with the second countershaft gear via an idler gear.
