Abstract

A gearbox comprising a gearbox housing at least partially surrounding a cavity, an oil sump connected to the gearbox housing and surrounding another cavity, and a separating element separating the cavity from the other cavity and having a passage through which oil located in the cavity is fed into the other cavity. The passage is arranged in a plane at an intersection line between a first oil level upper side and a second oil level upper side. The oil is fed from the cavity into the other cavity exclusively through the passage. The separating element has a passage section and a separating section, the passage section protrudes from the separating section in the radial direction.
