Abstract
The control apparatus comprises, in its version intended for a double-clutch transmission with six or seven forward gears and one reverse gear, a first shift fork for engaging the first gear or the third gear, respectively, a second shift fork for engaging the reverse gear or the fifth gear, respectively, a first hydraulic actuator arranged to control the movement of the first shift fork, a second hydraulic actuator arranged to control the movement of the second shift fork, a selection slide valve which can be moved into a first operating position in which the first hydraulic actuator is selected and a second operating position in which the second hydraulic actuator is selected, a pilot solenoid valve for controlling the movement of the slide valve between the first and second operating positions, and first and second gear shift solenoid valves for controlling the supply of fluid to the hydraulic actuator each time selected by the slide valve or the connection of said actuator with a tank. The slide valve is configured in such a manner that the first and second operating positions are end-of-travel positions, wherein the first operating position is a rest position, in which the pil…
