Method for producing and commissioning a transmission with a water-based lubricant, and such a lubricant

A method for producing and commissioning a transmission with a water-based lubricant, having an anti-corrosion agent, wherein the transmission consists of a housing (1) and rotary parts (2, 3, 4, 5, 9) supported therein, comprising the following steps:

• a) applying a mixture to the rotary parts (2, 3, 9), wherein the basis of the mixture is a vaporizable liquid and the mixture contains a comminuted solid lubricant, whereafter the mixture is dried, whereby a coating forms on the rotary parts;
• b) installing the rotary parts (2, 3, 9) with the coating in the housing (1) of the transmission to form an assembled transmission in the housing and thereafter filling the housing of the assembled transmission with a cooling liquid (10), which is essentially water;
• and
• c) putting the transmission into operation for the first time, wherein an actual liquid lubricant for the further operation is formed only by abrasion of the coating on the rotary parts (2, 3, 9) and distribution of the solid lubricant from the abraded coating in the cooling liquid (10).
