  • Publication number: 20090190871
    Abstract: An automatic transmission includes, but is not limited to a main case including, but not limited to a guidance for an output shaft. The guidance comprises at least one bearing. In order to make sure that the bearings do not move out of their location without reducing the distance between the bearings, a spacer is fixed between the bearings and the diameter of the bearings decreases with increasing distance from the spacer.
