Abstract
A transmission includes a first shaft connected to a differential transmission by a differential carrier. The differential transmission includes a first and a second differential shaft, wherein the second differential shaft is an output shaft. A shift element that includes a sliding element is used to couple the first differential shaft to the output shaft. The sliding element is connected in a torque-proof manner to the differential carrier and is axially movable relative to the differential carrier by a spring to produce a positive-locking connection between the first differential shaft and the output shaft. The first differential shaft has a movable area that moves axially with the shift element into a positive-locking connection with an area of the output shaft. The movable area of the first differential shaft is rotatable relative to the sliding element.
