A second technician is needed to help remove the shafts from the clutch housing.
- Lift the differential - 1 - with the left hand. With the right hand, lift the output shaft for 1st to 4th gear together with the selector shafts - 2 - - arrow A -.
- At the same time, the 2nd technician lifts the input, reverse and output shaft for 5th and 6th gear - 3 - together with the selector shaft out of the clutch housing - arrow B -.
• If necessary, the differential can be shifted again in the clutch housing after lifting the shafts.
- Pry out the input shaft seal using the extractor lever (VW 681).
• Always replace the grooved ball bearing (- item 6 - in the => [ Input Shaft Overview ] Input Shaft Overview) on the input shaft.
Assembly
• Press the new grooved ball bearing (- item 6 - in the => [ Input Shaft Overview ] Input Shaft Overview) onto the input shaft.
- First, insert the input shaft - 1 -, output shaft for 5th and 6th gears - 2 - together with the selector shaft - 3 -, selector fork - 4 - and reverse gear shaft - 5 -.
- Then install the differential - 1 -.
• A 2nd technician is needed to help install the shafts into the clutch housing.
- Hold the output shaft for 1st through 4th gear - 3 - and the selector shafts - 4 - with the right hand.
- Slightly lift the differential with the left hand.
- Have the second technician lift the input shaft, the 5th and 6th gear output shaft and reverse gear - 2 - together with the reverse gear shaft slightly at the same time.
- Install the 1st to 4th gear output shaft in the - direction of the arrow -.
• Parts of the input shaft, output shafts and final drive gear/differential must engage.

Check the input shaft grooved ball bearing and the transmission housing.
From Transmission Build Date 10 April 2006 through Approximately 21 January 2008
One washer each is inserted above and below the input shaft grooved ball bearing (- item 6 - in the => [ Input Shaft Overview ] Input Shaft Overview).
Measure the Shoulder above the Grooved Ball Bearing Mount
The area under the grooved ball bearing seat in the transmission housing has been changed - arrow -:
- Place a washer (85 mm outer circumference) - 1 - on the grooved ball bearing - 2 -.
On some transmissions:
Flattened areas - A - on the input shaft grooved ball bearing and bearing mount - B -.
• Do not place any washers above and below the grooved ball bearing.
• 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.
- Transfer the marks to the upper area of the grooved ball bearing and to the upper area of the transmission housing bearing mount (see the next graphic).
- Heat transmission housing using a heat gun (V.A.G 1416) or equivalent, in the area of the bearing seat for the 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.
• Align the mark on the grooved ball bearing - A - with the mark on the transmission housing - B - and install the transmission housing.

- Apply sealing paste (AMV 188 200 03) evenly onto the sealing surface of the clutch housing.
- Install the transmission housing and tighten the bolts - A, B and C - to specification.
If the steel bolts (outer hex head) are the replacement part, pay attention to the allocation:
A Bolt with a permanent washer
B Bolt without a washer
C Bolt with a permanent washer
- If a washer was mounted on the grooved ball bearing before installation, then a washer - 1 - (outer diameter = 78.6 mm) must be installed after installation - 2 -.
- Install the grooved ball bearing/input shaft lock ring - 1 -.
- Remove the bracket (30-211 A) from the input shaft.
- Install the selector shaft retaining sleeve all the way onto the tool. Refer to => [ Retaining Sleeve Differentiation ] Transmission Housing.
- Rotate the transmission in assembly stand with the opening for the selector shaft upward.
- Install the gear shift shaft - 1 - into the lower bearing - 2 - and into the selector forks - 3 -.
• The cover is not shown in the illustration.

• The gear shift cover - 4 - must be parallel to the bolting surface on the transmission housing.
• It must be possible to move the gear shift shaft easily (forward and backward).
• If the gear shift cover is at an angle to the bolting surface, then the gear shift shaft is not installed into the lower bearing.
- Tighten the bolts - 3 - for the gear shift cover - 4 -.
- Install the locking screw - 2 -, the locking pin - arrow - must not be installed when doing so.
- Install the backup lamp switch - 1 -.
