Abstract: A housing (1) for an assembly in a vehicle drive-train having a first housing component (1A) and a second housing component (1B). The first and second housing components (1A, 1B) are aligned with and coupled to one another. A shaft (6) for supporting a structural element (7) of the assembly is arranged inside the housing. The shaft (6) is supported respectively in the first and the second housing components (1A, 1B). The shaft (6) serves to align the first and second housing components (1A, 1B) relative to one another. A transmission having such a housing (1) is described as is a method for producing such a housing (1).

Abstract: An auxiliary power take-off assembly in a motor vehicle transmission, which has a torque converter, a transmission input and a transmission output. The auxiliary power take-off assembly includes: an input shaft at the transmission input, and which is permanently connected to a drive motor of the motor vehicle by way of the pump shaft of the torque converter; a transmission output shaft at the transmission output; a transmission chain, which includes an input element and an output element and the output element of which can be connected to an auxiliary assembly to be driven; and a switching element, which is operatively arranged between the input shaft and the input element of the transmission chain, to selectively connect the input shaft to the output element. The output element is arranged on an output shaft, which is mounted in a bearing cap.

Abstract: An auxiliary power take-off assembly in an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle provided with a torque converter, having a transmission input and transmission output having a drive shaft at the transmission input that is permanently connected to a drive motor of the motor vehicle via a pump shaft of the torque converter. A transmission output shaft at the transmission output, and a transmission chain includes at least one drive element and one output element. The output element can be connected to an additional unit to be driven. A switch element, which is arranged so as to act between the drive shaft and the drive element of the transmission chain for optionally connecting the drive shaft to the drive element. The drive element and the output element are designed as gearwheels which are engaged with one another without an intermediate wheel.

Abstract: A transmission of a vehicle having a transmission housing which accommodates shifting elements. The transmission has a hydraulic control unit which supplies the shifting elements with hydraulic oil, and which has a valve housing and a duct plate. The valve housing accommodates valves, and the duct plate unit is connected to the transmission housing and contains hydraulic ducts which communicate with hydraulic ducts of the transmission housing, to supply hydraulic oil to the shifting elements. The transmission has a transmission-side power-take-off via which mechanical power can be drawn from the transmission. The transmission has a transmission-internal, controllable clutch for the transmission-side power-take-off, by which the transmission-side power-take-off can be coupled to a transmission shaft to enable mechanical power to be drawn from the transmission shaft, and the transmission-internal, controllable clutch for the transmission-side power-take-off can be supplied from the hydraulic control unit with hydraulic oil for actuation of the clutch.
