  • Publication number: 20080179155
    Abstract: A drive system for a motor vehicle comprises a drive unit with a drive shaft and a torque-transmitting assembly, which is to be connected on the drive side to the drive shaft for rotation in common around an axis of rotation (A) and which is to be connected on the takeoff side to a gearbox. The drive-side connection is accomplished by means of an axial plug-in connection arrangement, and the torque-transmitting assembly is supported in at least one axial direction on the gearbox.

  • Publication number: 20060196751
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper in a gearbox housing, equipped with an input part, which is connected to a drive and acts on a first damping unit; and an intermediate part. The intermediate part, in its first capacity, acts as the output of the first damping unit and has drive-side drive elements to interact with the first damping unit, and in its second capacity, acts as the input of a second damping unit and has takeoff-side drive elements to interact with the second damping unit. The torsional vibration damper further has an output part, which is in working connection with the second damping unit and which is designed to accept a takeoff. The takeoff-side drive elements of the intermediate part, the second damping unit, and the takeoff are mounted in a torque-transmitting space of a clutch device, which space is provided with at least one inlet and at least one outlet.
