- Remove the transmission housing from the clutch housing in the - direction of the arrow - using the slide hammer (VW 771/1).
• If necessary, carefully pry up all around, alternating between sides on the protruding flange. Be careful not to damage the sealing surfaces.
- Remove the separating tool - A - and the thrust tube (VW 455) (illustration) or the sleeve (3160) from the input shaft.
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 shafts 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 -, reverse gear selector fork - 4 - and reverse gear shaft - 5 -.
Pay attention to the different mountings for the reverse gear selector fork.
The reverse gear selector fork - 1 - is mounted on the axle - 2 - behind the 5th and 6th gear selector shaft - 3 -.
The reverse gear selector fork - 1 - is mounted on the selector shaft with the 5th and 6th gear selector fork - 2 -.
Continuation for All
- Then, install the differential - 1 -.

• 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 the 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.
• Apply sealing paste (AMV 188 200 03) evenly onto the sealing surface of the clutch housing.
• Align the mark on the grooved ball bearing - A - with the mark on the transmission housing - B - and install the transmission housing.

• The cover is not shown in the illustration.
- Push the gear shift shaft - 1 - against the retaining sleeve - 2 - in the - direction of the arrow - and guide is through the selector fork all the way down using the shift finger - 3 -.
• 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 -.
