Abstract

A drivetrain module for a motor vehicle having a clutch with an input area and an output area. A mutual rotational driving of the input area and output area is influenceable by the action of the clutch. The clutch has a clutch housing with a clutch space formed therein. The input area and the output area are arranged at least partially in the clutch space. The clutch space is filled and is closed to be tight against fluid relative to a surrounding area of the clutch space. The clutch has a pressure compensation device for compensation of a pressure difference acting between the clutch space and the surrounding area.
