Transmission

Transmission, 09D, 6 Speed A/T
^ If caps are removed from transmission or transmission has no oil, do not run engine and do not tow vehicle.
^ First, always clean connection points and vicinity and then loosen.
^ When installing transmission, make sure alignment sleeves are correctly seated between engine and transmission.
^ Place removed parts on a clean surface. Cover parts to prevent soiling. Use sheeting or paper. Use lint-free cloths only!
^ Carefully cover or plug unpacked components if repairs cannot be performed immediately.
^ Only install clean parts: Remove packing from replacement parts immediately prior to installation and not before.
^ Do not run engine or tow vehicle with oil pan removed or when there is no ATF in the transmission.
^ If the transmission is removed from the vehicle, secure torque converter to prevent it from falling out.
^ Before installing transmission, check torque converter position.
^ Check ATF level after installing.

Gaskets, seals
^ Always replace O-rings, gaskets and seals.
^ Once a seal or gasket has been removed, check contact surface on housing or shaft for burrs and damage. Repair as necessary.





^ Before installing a seal, lightly coat outer circumference and sealing lip with ATF, depending on component location.
^ Only use ATF for automatic transmission components. Other types of lubrication cause faults to occur in the transmission hydraulics.
^ Open side of seal faces oil.
^ Check ATF level after installing.

Oil

CAUTION!
Be cautious when dealing with oil. Dispose of drained oil properly. Consider this: One drop of oil can contaminate 1000 liters of drinking water.

Do not mix any additives with the oil, and do not add other oils.

Drained oil must not be used to fill again.

ATF is obtainable as a replacement part.

Bolts and nuts





^ Loosen and tighten bolts or nuts for securing covers and housings in diagonal sequence.
^ The tightening torques stated apply to unoiled bolts and nuts.
^ Clean threads of bolts that were applied with locking fluid using a wire brush. Apply locking fluid AMV 185 101 A1 before reinstalling.
^ Use thread tap to remove remains of locking fluid from all threaded holes in which self locking bolts are to be installed. Otherwise there is a risk that the bolts will shear the next time they are removed.
^ Replace self-locking bolts and nuts.
^ The tightening torques stated apply to unoiled bolts and nuts.

Electrical components





You have probably received a electrical shock at one time, when touching a metal item. The reason for this is the electrostatic charge that is built up in the human body. This charge can lead to malfunctions when contacting the electrical components of the transmission and the gear selector.
- Touch a grounded object, e.g. a water pipe or a lifting platform, before working on the electrical components! Do not make direct contact with connector contacts.
