An arrangement is proposed for a planetary gearset () with an axially adjacent shift element in a housing () of a transmission of a vehicle, such that the planetary gearset () is connected to the shift element for torque transfer, and such that a non-destructively detachable connection is provided between the shift element and the planetary gearset ().

Arrangement of a planetary gearset in a transmission

A parking lock for a motor vehicle with an automatic or manual automatic transmission includes a parking lock wheel connected with the transmission output, a locking pawl pivotably attached by a parking lock bolt to a transmission housing. The locking pawl engages and disengages the parking lock wheel and has an end communicating with a guiding plate. A locking element is placed between the pawl and plate to prevent the pawl from disengaging the parking lock wheel. A hydraulic damping element, is at least operatively connected with the pawl, such that while disengaging the parking lock, movement of the pivotable end of the locking pawl toward the guiding plate is damped upon release of the parking lock thus preventing any undesired release jolt.
