Engine and Transmission, Separating
Engine and Transmission, Separating
=> [ with a Automatic Transmission ]
=> [ with a Manual Transmission ]
Conditions
• The engine/transmission assembly is removed and installed on the engine support (T10359).
with a Automatic Transmission
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Hose Clamps up to 40 mm (3094)
• Crankshaft Adapter (T03003)
• Socket SW15 (V/175)
• Hose Clamps up to 25 mm Dia. (3094)
• Shackle (10-222 A/12)
• Shop Crane - Load Cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100)
• Torque Wrench (40-200 Nm) (V.A.G 1332)
Note the following whenever working inside the engine compartment due to limited space:
• Route all lines and wires in their original locations.
• Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
Separating
- Remove the bracket - 1 - from the upper starter bolt - arrow -.
- Remove the upper starter bolt.
• Mark the coolant hoses on the transmission fluid cooler to prevent mixing them up when reinstalling them again later.
- Clamp off the coolant hoses to the cooler using the hose clamps up to 25 mm dia. (3094) and the hose clamps up to 40 mm (3093).
- Open the spring clamps - A - and pull the coolant hoses - B and C - off the cooler.
- Seal the coolant hoses and connections with plugs from the engine bung set (VAS 6122).
- Remove the upper transmission to engine bolts - arrows - using a 12 point swivel socket - A -.
- Turn the cap - 1 - in the - direction of the arrow - and remove it.
- Remove the 6 torque converter nuts - arrow - using the socket SW15 (V/175).
- Rotate the engine in engine rotation direction - arrow - a 60° additional turn using the crankshaft adapter (T03003).
• The torque converter will be pulled out when the transmission is separated from the engine if all 6 nuts are not removed!
• Counter hold the vibration damper using the crankshaft adapter (T03003) when loosening the nuts for the torque converter.
- Remove the selector lever cable bracket from the transmission.
- Install the shackle (10-222 A/12) to the transmission and install the shop crane - load cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100) to the shackle.
- Remove the last transmission/engine bolt.
- Separate the transmission from the engine. Push the torque converter out of the engine drive plate at the same time.
• Secure the torque converter from falling out.
Assembling
Assembly is performed in reverse the order of separating; pay attention to the tightening specifications.
with a Manual Transmission
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Shackle (10-222 A/12)
• Shop Crane - Load Cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100)

• Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
Separating
- Remove the starter.
- Disconnect all electrical connections from the transmission to the engine and free them up.
- Install the shackle (10-222 A/12) to the transmission and install the shop crane - load cap = 700-1200 KG (VAS 6100) to the shackle, but do not lift it.
- Remove the upper engine/transmission bolts.
- Tension the transmission using the shop crane and remove the last bolts.
- Remove the lower engine/transmission bolts.
- Separate the transmission from the engine; when doing this, guide the transmission.
