A gearbox for a motor vehicle, illustrated with an internal combustion engine, has an obliquely toothed reversing gearwheel (4) which is mounted on a two-row cylinder roller bearing with left-hand cylinder rollers (7) and with right-hand cylinder rollers (8) which are each supported on the inside on a rotating centre rim (9) in the reversing gearwheel (4). The left-hand cylinder rollers (7) and the right-hand cylinder rollers (8) are held in a bearing cage (14). The bearing cage (14) is embodied in such a way that the force flux (13) for axial forces between the reversing gearwheel (4) and its gear shaft (1) is applied to the input shaft (1) through the centre rim (9) and via end sides of the cylinder rollers (7, 8) which bear directly thereon, through the opposite end sides of the cylinder rollers (7, 8) and through adjacent components (6, 2), with the omission of the bearing cage (14).
