Transmission Code Letters, Reading

Description

On some transmissions, additional code letters are applied at top on transmission in vicinity of selector lever cable - arrows -.





In order to read code letters under plate directly from transmission, engine with transmission must be supported. Transmission plate - 1 - of left subframe mount must be removed.





When doing this, it is important to lower engine/transmission only far enough until plate can be slid toward rear. If lowered farther, the pendulum support will be damaged.

After reassembly, selector lever cable must be adjusted => [ Selector Lever Cable, Checking ] Selector Lever Cable, Checking.

- First determine whether a coded radio is installed. In this case, determine anti-theft coding.

- Disconnect battery Ground (GND) cable with ignition switched off.

- Remove power steering refill tank from battery plate, do not kink hoses while doing this.

- Connect refill tank to lock carrier.

- Remove battery and battery plate.

- Disconnect intake hose - 1 - and connector - 2 - from Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.





- Remove bolts - 3 - and - 4 -.

- Remove air filter completely.

- Insert Engine support bridge (10 - 222 A) with adapters (10 - 222 A /8).





- Do not place adapter (10 - 222 A /8) on to mounting bolts for fender/front section.

- If hose and cable connections are found in area of engine lifting eyes for engine support bridge (10 - 222 A), they must be removed now.

- If necessary, secure hook of left spindle (on transmission side) via a shackle (10 - 222 A /12) on engine lifting eyelet.

Do not lift up engine/transmission assembly.

- Remove hydraulic line - 1 - from transmission plate - arrow A -.





- Remove bolts - arrows B -.

- Remove bolts - arrows - for transmission plate - 1 -.





Bolts must be replaced.

- Carefully lower engine with transmission via both spindles by 2 rotations, alternating sides.

A maximum of 4 rotations is sufficient in order to remove transmission plate - arrow - toward rear.





After that, transmission code letters can now be read off, reassembly is in reverse order of removal.

• Follow all the following instructions.

• Replace all bolts of left subframe mount.

• First install all new bolts by hand.

- Bolt transmission plate to transmission and transmission mount with new bolts and tighten to tightening specification.

- Adjust selector lever cable => [ Selector Lever Cable, Checking ] Selector Lever Cable, Checking.
