The invention relates to a transmission (1) for a motor vehicle. Gear clutches (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7) are divided into a selection group and a shifting group. The selection group gear clutches (S1, S2, S3) can be actuated exclusively by moving a shift lever in the selection gate (7) so as to couple an input shaft (2) and a counter shaft (4). The shifting group gear clutches (S4, S5, S6, S7) can be actuated exclusively by moving a shift lever in the shifting gates (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e) so as to couple an output shaft (3) and the counter shaft (4), and the gear clutch (S1, S2, S3) respectively engaged in the shifting gates (8b, 8c, 8d) having the two opposite gears is a selection group gear clutch.
