Dunno if this is what you're asking, but Volkswagen made a double-clutch transmission:

"These clutches are connected by concentric shafts to conventional synchro shift slider-sleeves units, the hollow outer shaft driving per example the slider-sleeves of the even ratios, (2nd, 4th, 6th ) while the inner shaft drives the ones of the odd ratios ( 1st, 3rd, 5th ). Thus the control system can pre-select the next gear while the engine is in traction. The shift is carried out under load simply by disengaging a clutch while simultaneously engaging the other."
thank very much~
