Abstract
For restraint guidance of the transmission housing in a crash situation, a crash skid is provided on the underside of the transmission housing and has an inclined surface which is adjusted toward a cross arm. In the event of a shifting of the transmission housing or the unit counter to the direction of travel, the inclined surface introduces a restraint guidance of the unit obliquely upward above the cross arm.
