Abstract
A transmission arrangement includes a planetary transmission and a differential. The planetary transmission includes a planetary sun gear, a ring gear, a gear carrier, planetary gear shafts, and stepped planetary gears. The planetary gears are mounted in the gear carrier and engaged with the planetary sun gear and the ring gear. The differential includes first and second sun gears, balance shafts axially overlapping the planetary gear shafts, and first and second pinion gears. The first pinion gears are arranged on the balance shafts and engaged with the first sun gear, and the second pinion gears are engaged with the first pinion gears and the second sun gear. The planetary gear shafts or the balance shafts have an end face recess, or the planetary gear carrier has first receptacles for the planetary gear shafts and second receptacles for the balance shafts, with the balance shafts contacting the planetary gear shafts.
