Abstract
A transmission unit comprises a planetary wheel set, which comprises a plurality of gearwheel elements and is designed as a pump which effects delivery of hydraulic fluid from a suction zone to a pressure zone of a pump casing containing the planetary wheel set by means of the gearwheel elements. A controllable throttling device is provided in order to selectively throttle a fluid flow pumped between the suction zone and the pressure zone and thereby to brake the gearwheel elements of the planetary wheel set relative to one another. A fluid reservoir, which can be connected simultaneously to the suction zone and to the pressure zone via the throttling device, is arranged in a pump casing interspace formed between a plurality of gearwheel elements of the planetary wheel set.
