Abstract

A gear support comprises an elongate carrier portion which is oriented along a longitudinal axis, and a flange portion at one end of the carrier portion. The flange portion serves for fastening the gear support to a case of the gear, and a bearing portion in the region of an opposite end of the carrier portion serves for mounting the gear support on the motor vehicle. The carrier portion has two mutually opposite longitudinal spars, between which ribs extend, the longitudinal spars and the ribs being produced in one piece with one another.
