Abstract: A transmission includes a housing, having lower and upper housing parts and bearing seats. A web is formed on the lower housing part between two bearing seats, which is pressed against a web provided on the upper housing part and between the bearing seats. When the housing parts are separated or pulled apart, a first web of one of the housing parts projects beyond a planar surface, which restricts the other webs thereof, or the webs of one of the housing parts are restricted by a planar separating surface, and except for a first web, the webs of the other housing part are also restricted by the planar separating surface and the first web projects beyond the separating surface when the housing parts are separated from each other. To form the housing, at least one of the housing parts is elastically deformed and/or preloaded.
