Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A transmission system ( 10 ), especially for a motor vehicle, having around an axis (O) at least an input shell ( 12 ) that is rotationally connected to a driving shaft and to a drive web ( 18 ) in order to rotationally connect said input shell ( 12 ) to a double wet clutch mechanism ( 20 ) that, having at least a first clutch (E 1 ) and a second clutch (E 2 ) respectively of the multiple-disc type, is controlled to selectively couple said driving shaft to a first driven shaft (A 1 ) and to a second driven shaft (A 2 ), wherein the input shell ( 12 ) and the drive web ( 18 ) are rotationally connected by connecting means ( 24 ), which are constituted in particular by rivets ( 25 ), with zero angular clearance.
