Abstract
Description

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gearbox transmission, in particular to a hydraulic assembly for a gearbox. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, a full powershift transmission includes components such as gears, bearings, wet clutches, and synchronizers.
