- Remove transmission housing from clutch housing using slide hammer (VW 771/1) in direction of - arrow -.

If necessary, carefully pry up all around and alternating between sides on protruding flange taking care not to damage sealing surfaces.

- If present, remove washer - 1 - from grooved ball bearing - 2 -.






- If transmission is replaced, check whether washer must be reinstalled.

- Remove Separating Tool - A - and Pressing Sleeve VW 455 from input shaft.






A 2nd technician is required to remove shafts from clutch housing.

- Lift differential - 1 - with the left hand. With the right hand, lift output shaft for 1st to 4th gears together with selector rods - 2 - - arrow A -.






- At the same time, 2nd technician lifts input, reverse and output shaft for 5th/6th gear - 3 - together with selector rods out of clutch housing - arrow B -.

If necessary, differential can be shifted again in clutch housing after lifting shafts.

- Drive out sealing ring for input shaft using (30-21).

Grooved ball bearing on input shaft must always be replaced => [ (Item 8) Input Shaft ] Input Shaft Overview.

Installing

A new grooved ball bearing must be pressed on to input shaft => [ (Item 8) Input Shaft ] Input Shaft Overview.

- First insert input shaft - 1 -, output shaft for 5th/6th gears - 2 - together with selector rod - 3 -, shift fork - 4 - and reverse shaft - 5 -.






- Then insert differential - 1 -.






A 2nd technician is required for further installation of shafts into clutch housing.

- As shown in illustration, take output shaft for 1st to 4th gears - 3 - with selector rods - 4 - in right hand.

- Lift differential slightly with the left hand.

- At the same time, 2nd technician slightly lifts input shaft, output shaft for 5th/6th gears and reverse gear - 2 - together with reverse shaft.

- Now, insert output shaft for 1st to 4th gears in - direction of arrow -.

Splines of input shaft, output shafts and final drive gear/differential must engage.

- Together with a second technician, now displace shafts and differential in their bearing seats.

- Fasten the (30-211A) for the input shaft to the clutch housing.






For the sake of illustration, clutch housing is depicted rotated 180°.

- Screw in bolt - A - far enough until input shaft rises slightly.

From transmission build date 4.10.06 through approximately 1.21.08

One washer each is inserted above and below input shaft grooved ball bearing.=> [ (Item 8) Input Shaft ] Input Shaft Overview






- Check transmission housing.

- Measure shoulder above grooved ball bearing mount.











The area below the grooved ball bearing seat in the transmission housing has been changed.










Place a washer (85 mm outer diameter) - 1 - on the grooved ball bearing - 2 -.





Check the transmission housing and grooved ball bearing.

The Grooved Ball Bearing/Input Shaft Fits Inside the Transmission Housing in only Position on some Transmissions





There is a flattened area on the grooved ball bearing and the bearing mount.

If flattened areas - A - and - B - are present, then do not install the washers.

The flattened sides - A - on the grooved ball bearing and on the bearing mount - B - must align in the transmission housing.

- Mark the flattened side with color.

- Place a marking on the upper area of the grooved ball bearing and on the upper area of the transmission housing bearing mount (see next illustration).

- Heat transmission housing using Heat Gun (V.A.G 1416) in area of bearing seat for grooved ball bearing/input shaft to 100 °C / 212 °F for approximately 10 minutes.

It is necessary to heat the transmission housing so that the grooved ball bearing is not damaged when the housing is being installed.

Apply Sealing Paste (AMV 188 200 03) evenly onto the sealing surface of the clutch housing.

Align the marking on the grooved ball bearing - A - with the marking on the transmission housing - B - and mount the transmission housing.






- Install transmission housing and tighten new bolts - A -, - B - and - C - to tightening specification.






Allocation of bolts:

A Bolt with permanent washer
B Bolt without washer
C Bolt with permanent washer

From Transmission Build Date 10 04 6 through 20 1 8, a Washer - 1 - (Outer Diameter = 78.6 mm) was Installed Above the Grooved Ball Bearing - 2 -.





See if a washer - 1 - must be placed above the grooved ball bearing - 2 -. Refer to => [ Grooved Ball Bearing Changes ] Grooved Ball Bearing Changes

- Install circlip - 1 - for grooved ball bearing/input shaft.






- Remove Bracket (30 - 211 A) for input shaft.

- If selector shaft lock sleeve has been removed, drive it in now as far as stop on tool. Refer to => [ Lock Sleeve Differentiation ] Transmission Housing.

- Turn transmission with opening for selector shaft in assembly stand upward.

- Insert selector shaft - 1 - into lower mounting - 2 - and into shift forks - 3 -.






To improve clarity, the cap is removed.

- Now press selector shaft - 1 - against lock sleeve - 2 - in direction of - arrow - and guide downward with shift finger - 3 - through shift forks until stop.






Shift cover - 4 - must stand parallel to bolting surface on transmission housing during this.

Selector shaft must be able to be moved easily in selector motion (up and downward).

If shift cover stands at an angle to bolting surface, selector shaft is not inserted in lower bearing.

- Tighten the bolts - 3 - for the shift cover - 4 -.






- Install lock screw - 2 -, lock elbow - arrow - must not be installed when doing so.

- Install back-up lamp switch (F4) - 1 -.

- Install flanged shaft and stub shaft with compression springs, thrust washers and tapered rings.
