A transmission system for either a manual shift transmission, an automatic transmission or an automated transmission in which the electrical connections and the pneumatic connections including any ventilation port, for the internal components of the transmission are combined with one another so as to exit the transmission housing via a single unified connection formed in the housing wall of the transmission.

The present invention relates to a method for determining the rotational speed of the main shaft () of a transmission in which the main shaft () is connected to an output shaft () via a shiftable planetary gear (), whereby the main shaft () is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the sun gear () and the output shaft () is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the planet carrier (). The steps of the method are picking up the rotational speed (n) of the ring gear (), picking up the rotational speed (n) of the output shaft or the planet carrier (), and computing the rotational speed (n) of the main shaft () from the rotational speed (n) of the ring gear and the rotational speed (n) of the output shaft or the planet carrier (). The present invention further relates to a transmission having a rotational speed pickup device.

A way sensor arrangement () for detecting the displacement of a mechanical component in relation to another component. The way sensor arrangement having a sensor housing () that is firmly mounted to a first (gear case) of these two components and a sensor carriage () that interacts with the housing and can be coupled to the second component (shift rail). The invention provides that the sensor carriage () is mounted in the sensor housing () displaceably in the direction of displacement of the displaceable component (shift rail) and that mutually interacting coupling device (catch projectioncatch recess) are provided on the sensor carriage () and on the second component (shift rail), which can mutually engage with each other.
