Engine and Transmission, Separating and Assembling

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Shackle (10-222 A/12)

• Multipoint Socket (T10035) (vehicles with a automatic transmission)

• Insert Tool 18 mm (T10179) (vehicles with a automatic transmission)

• Socket SW15 (V/175) (vehicles with a automatic transmission)

Vehicles with All Wheel Drive (AWD):

- Remove the bevel box.

Continuation for all Vehicles:

- Disconnect and free up all electrical connections from the transmission to the engine.

- Install the workshop crane to the transmission using the shackles (10-222 A/12) but do not lift it.






- Remove the upper bolts connect the engine to the transmission.

Vehicles with a Manual Transmission or Direct Shift Gearbox:

- Before removing the last bolts, support the transmission with the workshop crane.

- Remove the lower bolts connecting the engine to the transmission.

- Separate the transmission from the engine; when doing this, guide the transmission.

Vehicles with a Automatic Transmission:

Remove the bolts using the insert tool 18 mm (T10179). When tightening, observe the lower tightening specification.

The multipoint socket (T10035) makes the assembling easier.

- For safety, first install a bolt which is easily accessible.

- Before removing the last bolt, support the transmission with the workshop crane.

- Now, remove the last bolt.

- Separate the transmission from the engine; when doing this, guide the transmission.

• Pay attention to the torque converter. It must be removed together with the transmission.

- During transport, secure the converter from falling out, for example, with a wire - A -.
