Abstract

A transmission (1) for a motor vehicle (2) includes a transmission housing (3) with an interior space (4) and an oil sump (6). At least one rotating transmission component (5a) is arranged in the interior space (4) of the transmission housing (3). At least one compensating tank (7) is configured for collecting oil from the interior space (4). The compensating tank (7) is fluidically connected to the oil sump (6) via at least one return (8). The particular return (8) delivers a predefined flow back into the oil sump (6) as a function of a power throughput of the transmission (1).
