Abstract
A transmission ( ) with load distribution to two countershafts ( ) has a switching equipment ( ) with a synchronization apparatus ( ) and two constant gear wheel trains ( ) of which at least one constant gear wheel train ( ) serves to transfer torque introduced into the transmission ( ) to that countershaft ( ) on which an auxiliary output (PTO) is arranged. The gear wheel ( ) of the second constant gear wheel train ( ), which is not arranged on one of the countershafts ( ), is fixed radially in a coupling apparatus ( ) such that the coupling apparatus ( ) allows radial play of the gear wheel ( ) in relation to the shaft ( ) on which the gear wheel ( ) is arranged. An Oldham clutch ( ) represents such a coupling apparatus.
