Transmission assembly comprising a transmission housing and a receiving space for receiving an electronic and/or electrical functional unit

A transmission assembly, comprising:

• a transmission housing;
• and
• a receiving space for receiving an electrical functional unit,
• wherein the receiving space is formed by at least one wall in the transmission housing and a lid unit,
• wherein the receiving space is sealable from an exterior environment via a seal in a contact region on the transmission housing and the lid unit,
• wherein the lid unit is connectable to the transmission housing by a screw,
• wherein the lid unit includes a channel through which at least part of the screw passes,
• wherein the channel has an inner thread section, and
• wherein the inner thread section in the channel in the lid unit has an inner diameter that is greater than an inner diameter of an inner thread region in the transmission housing for receiving the screw.

A method for removing a lid unit from a transmission housing, wherein the lid unit and the transmission housing form a receiving space for receiving an electronic functional unit, wherein the lid unit is secured in place on the transmission housing by a screw inserted at least in part through a channel in the lid unit and screwed into an inner thread region in the transmission housing, the method comprising:

• unscrewing the screw from the transmission housing and lid unit;
• screwing a removal tool with an outer threading into an inner thread section in the lid unit, wherein the inner thread section in the lid unit has a greater diameter than the inner thread region in the transmission housing;
• and
• applying a pressure with the removal tool to separate the lid unit from the transmission housing,
• wherein the pressure is applied to the transmission housing with a separating structure in the removal tool.
