Differential gear (100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106), in particular motor vehicle differential gear, for transmitting
rotational energy between at least two rotary connections (2, 3, 6), each of which can be coupled to a drive or output shaft, with at least one planetary gear (41, 42) and at least one sun gear or ring gear (21, 31, 61, 71) meshing therewith, wherein at least one planetary gear (41, 42) is designed as a planetary gear shaft (41.0, 42.0), and the planetary gear shaft (41.0, 42.0) is preferably mounted in or on a planetary gear carrier (9) and has, in its axial longitudinal extent, at least three circumferential gear regions (41.1, 41.2, 41.3, 41.4, 42.1, 42.2, 42.3, 42.4) with different diameters, arranged offset from one another and each provided with a circumferential toothing, and a sun gear (21, 31, 61, 71) meshes with each toothed
peripheral gear area (41.1, 41.2, 41.3, 41.4, 42.1, 42.2, 42.3, 42.4), and at least two of the sun gears (21, 31) are non-rotatably coupled or directly connected to one of the rotary connections (2, 3), characterized in that a transmission state is provided in which at least two of the sun gears (21, 31, 61, 71) and the at least one
planet gear (41, 42) are operatively connected to one another in such a way that the transmission of a rotational force between at least one first rotary connection (2) to at least one second rotary connection (3) takes place without inhibition.
