A sealing sleeve for a transmission or a clutch of a motor vehicle for use between two torque transmitting devices, which rotate relative to each other, wherein a shell surface of the sealing sleeve is designed for making contact in a sliding and sealing manner with one or more sealing means; and a flange section, which projects radially from the shell surface, is designed for interpositioning between the two torque transmitting devices, wherein the flange section is formed as a running surface for an axial bearing. An automatic transmission or a clutch with a first torque transmitting device and a second torque transmitting device, between which an inventive sealing sleeve is inserted.

Sealing sleeve with combined axial bearing and automatic transmission or clutch with such a sealing sleeve

A multiple-row and axially biased angular ball bearing with a one-piece outer ring and an inner ring that has two inner ring halves. In order to facilitate an easy and precise setting of the desired pretensioning force and to produce a transport-safe mount cartridge, it is intended that the axial distance of at least two close-end contact surfaces of the angular ball bearing should be equal to zero in the pretensioned state, and that the axial distance of at least two close-end contact surfaces of the angular ball bearing should be greater than zero in a nonpretensioned state.
