1. An auxiliary power take-off assembly in a transmission of a motor vehicle having a torque converter, with a transmission input and a transmission output, the auxiliary power take-off assembly comprising:
a driveshaft being permanently connected to a drive motor of the motor vehicle by way of a pump shaft of the torque converter at the transmission input,
a transmission output shaft at the transmission output and a transmission chain having at least a drive input element and a drive output element,
the drive output element being connectable to an auxiliary aggregate to be driven,
a shifting element being arranged and acting between the driveshaft and the drive input element of the transmission chain for optional connection of the driveshaft to the drive output element, and
the drive output element being arranged on a drive output shaft which is mounted in a bearing cap, the bearing cap having moldings with bores therein, the bearing cap being fixable to a transmission housing such that the moldings extend into an interior of the transmission housing and the bores are located within the interior of the transmission housing.
