Abstract
A motor vehicle transmission assembly is provided that includes a dampening component configured to reduce at least one of noise and vibration within the transmission assembly. In some versions, the dampening component is disposed between first and second transmission components, and the dampening component may be fixed to and/or abutting one of the transmission components. The dampening component may comprise a dampening layer disposed between a pair of outer layers. In some versions, the dampening component has a metallic portion and a non-metallic portion.
