The invention provides a multi-gear transmission provided with nine forward gears and one reverse gear. The transmission comprises four planetary gear sets (P1, P2, P3 and P4); seven rotatable shafts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7); six gear change components (03, 04, 05, 14, 17, 27, 35 and 47). The input shaft (1) is connected with the center wheel of the planetary gear set (P2) and the center wheel of the planetary gear set (P3). The shaft (3) is connected with the bridging part of the planetary gear set (P2), and is coupled inside an encloser (G), is connected with the shaft (5) through a clutch (35) in a releasable way. The shaft (3) is connected with the hollow wheel of the planetary gear set (P1). The shaft (6) is connected with the bridging part of the planetary gear set (P1), the hollow wheel of the planetary gear set (P2) and the center wheel of the planetary gear set (P4). The shaft (7) is connected with the bridging part of the planetary gear set (P3), and is connected with the output shaft (2) connected with the hollow wheel of the fourth planetary gear set (P4) in a releasable way. The center wheel of the planetary gear set (P1) is connected with the encloser (G) in a torsion resistant way. The shaft (4) is connected with the hollow wheel of the planetary gear set (P3) and the bridging part of the planetary gear set (P4), and coupled to the encloser (G). The shafts (1) and (4), the shafts (1) and (7), or the shafts (4) and (7) are connected with each other in a releasable way through a clutch (14), a clutch (17) or a clutch (47).
