OG exemplary drawing
 
1. An apparatus of a solenoid valve unit for actuating a central clutch actuator, comprising:
a housing having an elongate housing shape which is curved along its longitudinal direction, wherein
the housing is configured for receiving at least one solenoid valve and is introducible into an opening of a transmission housing along a movement axis which is matched with the curved elongate housing shape in the longitudinal direction.
 
18. A method for mounting a solenoid valve unit into an opening of a transmission housing or a clutch case, the method comprising:
providing the solenoid valve unit for actuating a central clutch, the solenoid valve unit comprising a housing having an elongate housing shape which is curved along its longitudinal direction; and
introducing the solenoid valve unit into the opening along a movement axis which is matched with the curved housing shape of the solenoid valve unit in the longitudinal direction.
