Transmission, Installing
• Before installing a replacement transmission, clean ATF lines and ATF cooler. Refer to => [ ATF Lines and Cooler, Cleaning ] 01V,01VA Transmission.
• When performing repairs, replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
• Replace bolts which have a specified tightening angle, as well as seals and gaskets.
• Replace the bolts used for attaching the torque converter to the drive plate. Use Original bolts.
• The threads in the drive flanges of the transmission and the rear final drive must absolutely be cleaned of locking compound residue after the driveshaft is removed. Otherwise there is a possibility that the new bolts may get jammed when installed and shear when removed.
• Cleaning can be performed with a thread tap.
• Secure all hose connections with hose clamps of the same type as those equipped by the factory.
• All cable ties that are opened or cut open during removal must be replaced in the same positions during installation.
• If the alignment sleeves in the transmission housing remain stuck, these must be removed and new alignment sleeves attached to the cylinder block.

- Install the intermediate plate between the engine and the transmission in the same position, if equipped.
- Position Transmission Support (3282) for removing the automatic transmission 01V with Adjustment Plate (3282/19) and place on Engine/Transmission Jack (V.A.G 1383 A).
• The symbols on the adjusting plate show the required brackets for the automatic transmission 01V. The arrow points in the driving direction.
- Attach transmission to Engine/Transmission Jack ( V.A.G 1383 A).
- Secure transmission on Transmission Support ( 3282) using bolt - A -.
- Before installing transmission, make sure that the torque converter is correctly inserted in transmission. Refer to => [ Torque Converter, Installing ] Torque Converter, Installing.
• With torque converter installed correctly, the distance between contact surfaces on threaded holes on converter and torque converter bell housing contact surface is approximately 23 mm.
• If the torque converter is not fully inserted, this distance is approximately 11 mm.
CAUTION!
If the converter is not properly installed, the drive lugs on the converter and the ATF pump will be severely damaged when the transmission is attached to the engine.
- Guide transmission in between the lowered subframe and vehicle floor.
- Align transmission to engine.
- Before guiding together the engine and transmission, turn torque converter and engine drive plate so that one hole and one threaded hole are at the level of the removed starter opening.
• Ensure no lines are kinked when sliding engine and transmission together.
- Install one engine/transmission bolt on both sides hand-tight.
- To secure torque converter to drive plate, use new bolts. Use original bolts only.
- Install the 3 bolts of the torque converter in the opening of the removed starter hand-tight at first and then tighten to the tightening specification (turn crankshaft 1/3 turn further for each bolt).
CAUTION!
Before and during fastening the bolts of the engine/transmission flange, check that the torque converter can still be turned behind the drive plate. If the torque converter cannot be turned, it must be assumed that it has not been installed properly and that the drive plate of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the bolts.
- Install the upper engine/transmission bolts - arrows - to the tightening specification.
• On some bolts, a bracket or ground connection is also installed.
- Install and tighten the remaining engine/transmission bolts.
- Using the spindles, raise the engine/transmission assembly approximately 8 turns.
- To do this raise engine/transmission assembly using spindles in turn, 2 turns at a time.
- At the same time, have a second technician lift the engine-transmission-assembly with the Engine/Transmission Jack (V.A.G 1383 A).
If holes - 1 - and - 2 - aligned during removal when measured with Testing Mandrel (3393):
- Install the subframe. Pay attention to the tightening sequence.
If holes - 1 - and - 2 - did not align when measured with Testing Mandrel (3393):
- Only tighten subframe bolts to tightening torque, not to additional torque (only tighten bolts after axle alignment).
CAUTION!
Vehicle must not be driven in this condition.
- Install the left and right engine mounts.
- Install left and right transmission support with transmission mount. Refer to => [ Left and Right Transmission Supports ] 01V,01VA Transmission.
- Remove the bolt - A - and then remove the Engine/Transmission Jack (V.A.G 1383 A), the Transmission Support (3282) and the Adjusting Plate (3282/19).
- Apply corrosion protection to contact surface between bolt - A - and oil pan.
- Push the selector shaft lever - 2 - on the transmission all the way forward (opposite direction of - arrow -).
- Move the selector lever into "S" and carefully push the ball head from the selector lever cable - 1 - onto the selector shaft lever with pliers.
• Do not bend selector shaft lever when pressing on, otherwise shift mechanism can no longer be adjusted exactly.
- Attach the selector lever cable bracket - arrow - to the marking on the transmission housing.
- Install Multi-Function Transmission Range (TR) Switch (F125). Refer to => [ Multi-Function Transmission Range Switch ] Multi-Function Transmission Range Switch.
- Attach the driveshaft to the transmission.
- Install the driveshaft heat shield - arrows -.
- Connect the ATF lines - 1 - according to the color markings.
• The front end must be attached to both longitudinal members in order to connect the ATF lines.
- Attach the ATF line bracket - arrow - to the engine oil pan.
- Install the noise insulation bracket - 1 -.
- Connect the - 2 - Multi-Function Transmission Range (TR) Switch (F125) connector.
- Connect the transmission wiring harness multi-pin connector and move the securing lever - 3 -.
- Replace cable ties - 4 -.
- Install the selector lever cable heat shield. Refer to => [ Heat Shield Over the Selector Lever Cable ] Selector Lever Cable and Locking Cable Assembly Overview.
- Reconnect exhaust system and ensure it is not under stress.
- Install heat shield - arrows -.
- Connect the Speedometer Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) (G22) connector - arrow A -.
- Tighten the Speedometer Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) (G22) - arrow B -.
- Attach the left and right drive axles - 1 - to the flange shaft.
- Install the left and right drive axle heat shields - arrows -.
The rest of the installation follows the reverse order of removal, note the following:
- Install the noise insulation.
- Heed appropriate instructions for work to be performed following battery connection.
- Check the adjustment of the selector lever cable. Refer to => [ Selector Lever Cable, Checking and Adjusting ] 01V,01VA Transmission.
- Mount the front wheels and perform and axle alignment if necessary.
- Check and correct ATF level in planetary gearing. Refer to => [ ATF Level In Planetary Gearing, Checking and Correcting ] ATF Level In Planetary Gearing, Checking and Correcting.
- Checking gear oil level in front final drive. Refer to => [ ATF Level In Planetary Gearing, Checking and Correcting ] ATF Level In Planetary Gearing, Checking and Correcting.
