Passat and CC Specific Components
Transmission, with Front Wheel Drive
Short Description
- Before removal, print out the diagnostic protocol. Send the removed transmission together with the protocol back in the usual manner.
The transmission is removed downward as a unit. The engine remains in the vehicle.
The air filter housing and engine cover are removed from above. The engine and transmission are then supported to allow the transmission mount to be removed.
The noise insulation and Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) lines are removed from below. Drive axles are pressed off, transmission is then lowered using a transmission jack.
• The subframe is not removed.

- Install the (3094) to the hoses and remove the hoses from the ATF cooler.
- Remove both upper engine/transmission bolts.
- Press the brake pedal on order to remove the left drive axle bolt - arrow - (second technician).
• After this, the vehicle must not contact the ground again.
- Remove the noise insulation.
- Remove the right drive axle heat shield from the engine.
- Disconnect both electrical connectors from the transmission.
- Remove the lower left lower part of the wheel housing liner.

Installing
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal. However, note the following:
- Check whether the alignment sleeves in the engine flange are pressed in.
Make sure that the torque converter is installed correctly. It must be possible to easily turn it by hand and be seated equally deep all around in the transmission.
• Carefully rotate the engine further!
• Especially when installing, make sure that the engine is rotated carefully while bringing the transmission and engine together. The starter ring gear can be secured from outside using a screwdriver. When installing, the studs are located in bores of the drive plate.
Engine and transmission must be installed free of stress to the transmission mount.
- Before tightening the transmission mount to bracket bolts, reestablish the old seating of the bolts.
- Adjust the selector lever cable. Refer to => [ Selector Lever Cable, Adjusting ] Adjustments.
- Check the ATF level after installing. Refer to => [ Automatic Transmission Fluid Level, Checking and Filling ] Automatic Transmission Fluid Level, Checking and Filling.
- Check the coolant level and fill if necessary.
- Perform the basic setting. To do so, connect the (VAS 5051) and select "Perform basic setting" under Guided Functions.
