- Slightly lift the differential with the left hand.

- Have the second technician lift the input shaft, the 5th/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-.

- The input shaft, output shafts and final drive gear/ differential must engage.

- Together with a second technician, place shafts and differential in their bearing seats.






- Secure the -30-211A- for the input shaft to the clutch housing.

NOTE:
The clutch housing is shown in the illustration rotated 180°.

- Install the bolt -A- just far enough until the input shaft starts to lift.

Transmission Housing Changed from Build Date 10 April 2006
One washer each is inserted above and below the input shaft grooved ball bearing -item 6-







Upper washer
Outer Diameter 78.6mm
Lower washer
Outer Diameter 85mm


- Check the transmission housing.

- Measure the shoulder above the grooved ball bearing mount.





The shoulder is deeper than the washer mount.
Shoulder above grooved ball bearing Dimension "a" Washer
From build date 10 April 2006 --> 10.7mm yes
Through build date 09 April 2006 --> 10mm no



Bearing Seat for Grooved Ball Bearing in Transmission Housing Changed from Build Date 10 April 2006






Bearing seat -arrow- for the grooved ball bearing (-2- ->lower illustration) is slightly lower than the washer mount (-1- ->lower illustration).

From Build Date 10 April 2006, place a washer (outer diameter = 85 mm) -1- on the grooved ball bearing -2-.






- Heat the transmission housing using a heat gun, for example, -V.A.G 1416- in the area of the bearing seat for the grooved bearing/ input shaft to 100°C
(212°F) for approximately 10 minutes.






- Install the transmission housing and tighten the bolts -A, B, and C- to specifications.

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

From Build Date 10 April 2006, install a washer -1- (outer diameter = 78.6 mm) above the grooved ball bearing -2-.










- Install the grooved ball bearing/ input shaft lock ring -1-.

- Remove the -30-211A- for the input shaft.






- If the shift unit retaining sleeve has been removed, install it now all the way in using the -T10168-.

- Turn the transmission with the opening for the shift unit in the assembly stand upward.






- Install the shift unit -1- into the lower bearing -2- and into the selector forks -3-. The cap is not shown in the illustration.






- Push the shift unit -1- against the retaining sleeve -2- in the -direction of arrow- and guide it through the selector fork all the way down using the shift finger -3-.
- The shift unit cover -4- must be parallel to the bolting surface on the transmission housing.
- It must be possible to move the shift unit shaft easily (forward and backward).

NOTE:
If the shift unit cover is at an angle to the bolting surface, then the shift unit is not installed into the lower bearing.






- Tighten the bolts -3- for the shift unit cover -4-.

- Install the locking screw -2-, lock elbow -arrow- must not be installed when doing so.

- Install the backup lamp switch -F4- -1-.

- Install the flange shaft and stub shaft, the pressure springs, the thrust washers and the tapered rings.






- Install the Input shaft seal so that it is flush using the -T40008-.

- Install the clutch slave cylinder with release bearing.

- Move the shift lever through all the gears.






- Drive the cap into the transmission housing until seated using the -T10042-

Install the bevel box to the transmission as follows:






- Always replace the O-ring for sealing the bevel box to the transmission -arrow A- and the O-rings for sealing the sleeves -arrows B and C-. Lubricate the O-rings lightly with oil.
- Slide the bevel box completely on the transmission, while doing this, join the splines of the input shaft/ bevel box centrally with the connecting sleeve/ differential.
- Bring the right drive axle splines and the differential bevel gear into alignment. Rotate the flange shaft if necessary.
- With proper tooth position and central guiding, the bevel box slips up to the stop against the transmission.

NOTE:
Do not pull the bevel box against the transmission, otherwise the bevel box is tilted and the mounting eyelets can break off.






- Tighten the 4 bevel box bolts -arrows0 (only 3 are shown in illustration) to the transmission.

- Tighten the bolt on the right flange shaft using the -V.A.G 1669- or a 6 mm socket while counter holding the flange shaft with a drift.
