Claim 21

A transmission according to claim 1, characterized in that at least one of the two parts consisting of an abutment for one of said engageable means and of a ring-disk covering the free-wheeling means is secured at the open end of a sleeve means by means of snap ring means.

Claim 22

A transmission according to claim 2, characterized in that a ring disk also covering the free-wheeling means is arranged between an outer race of the free-wheeling means and the ring gear.

Claim 23

A transmission according to claim 15, wherein said sleeve means are constructed identically with respect to one another.

Claim 24

A transmission according to claim 22, wherein a spacer ring is provided between a flange means of said undulator sleeve means forming the inner disk carrier for the brake and a ring gear constituting said member of the planetary gear set.

Claim 25

A transmission according to claim 23, wherein an annular rotary disk and a spring ring are provided at the end of said last-mentioned sleeve means opposite said flange means for supporting an outer ring of said free-wheeling means.

Claim 26
