Abstract
A transmission has a differential including a first planetary gear set having a first gear set element connected to an input shaft for conjoint rotation, a second gear set element at least indirectly connected to a first output shaft for conjoint rotation, and a third gear set element that is a ring gear. The differential further includes a second planetary gear set having a first gear set element that is a sun gear, a second gear set element non-rotationally connected to a positionally fixed component, and a third gear set element at least indirectly connected to a second output shaft for conjoint rotation. The differential also includes a connector connecting the ring gear of the first planetary gear set and the sun gear of the second planetary gear set for conjoint rotation, where the connector and the ring gear of the first planetary gear set are integrally bonded.
