Vehicle with transmission having a spline connection

A vehicle comprising:

• an internal combustion engine operable to rotate a crank shaft of said internal combustion engine;
• a transmission;
• at least one driving wheel rotationally connected to said transmission;
• and
• a damping system arranged between said internal combustion engine and said transmission for dampening irregular motions of said crank shaft, said damping system comprising an output splined portion;
• wherein said transmission is arranged for controllably rotationally connecting the output splined portion of said damping system for providing torque from the internal combustion engine to said at least one driving wheel via said transmission, wherein
• said output splined portion of said damping system is adapted to mate with a splined portion of a coupling shaft of said transmission for connecting the crank shaft to said transmission via said damping system,
• wherein said transmission comprises a torque converter arranged for controllably rotationally connecting the output splined portion of said damping system to said transmission, wherein said splined portion of said coupling shaft is configured to connect said torque converter to said damping system.
