Abstract
The invention describes a vehicle transmission (2) with helical toothing wherein a first shaft (4, 60, 100, 104, 160, 162, 220, 300) and one substantially coaxial second shaft (28, 62, 102, 180, 246, 302) have a mechanism (36-50, 76-84, 120-154, 226, 234, 244, 306) between them for the transmission of axial forces and simultaneously allow rotation movement and radial mobility of the shafts relative to one another. Axial forces, particularly resulting from the helical toothing, can also be transmitted in transmissions having several countershafts.
