following procedure when unbolting the pressure plate:
– Loosen all bolts alternately and diagonally in small steps (1 full

turn).
• As bolts are removed, stop -2- with pin -1- must loosen.
– If stop does not loosen, push pin in direction of dual-mass fly‐
wheel.
– Remove pressure plate and clutch plate.

– Tighten securing bolts -A- for synchro-hub and gear wheel for
5th gear. To do this, engage 5th gear -arrow 1- and 1st gear
-arrows 2- and -3-.

engaged. Now both bolts can be tightened.
– Install 5th gear selector fork.

Adjusting 5th gear

– Engage 5th gear. Loosen bolt -1-. Press locking collar and se‐
lector jaw in direction of arrow. Then tighten bolt -1- to 25 Nm.
• Check measurement: it must not be possible to slide a 0.2 mm
feeler gauge between locking collar and gear wheel. If neces‐
sary, repeat adjustment.
– Disengage 5th gear. Locking collar must now be in the neutral
position. Synchro-ring must move freely.
– Shift through all gears. wage

Note
Allocate shims using ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA) .
– Remove input shaft and press outer race of tapered roller

bearing out of gearbox housing using thrust plate - VW 447 i- .
– Insert shims of determined thickness, thickest shim first.
If the size of shim required is larger than those listed in the table,
insert two shims totalling the correct figure.
– Press outer race of tapered roller bearing together with the
shim (1.175 mm in example) into gearbox housing using thrust
pad - VW 510- .

– Fit gearbox housing and tighten hexagon bolts.

Carrying out check measurement
– Set up measuring appliance and dial gauge.

– Rotate input shaft so that tapered roller bearings settle.
– Press input shaft in -direction of arrow-.
– Bearing play should be min. 0.01 … max. 0.09 mm.
Note
If the bearing play cannot be measured, but input shaft play is

perceptible and the input shaft turns freely, the adjustment is ac‐
ceptable.

♦ The shaft must be turned in one direction so that the rollers of

the tapered roller bearing settle in one direction.

– Align hole in differential pinion pin with hole in differential cage.
– Drive in new spring pin with drift -1- until dimension
-a- = 3.0 mm has been attained.
• The spring pin must not come in contact with gears with dif‐
ferential cage installed.
In some gearboxes, the one-piece thrust washer has a shoulder

-A- near the holes
In this case, the differential cage has a circumferential groove
-B-.
– Lubricate one-piece thrust washer with gear oil and install.
– Install one-piece thrust washer so that it engages in groove
-B- in differential cage.

Installing differential bevel gears and differential pinion pin

– Lubricate one-piece thrust washer with gear oil and install.
– Install both sun wheels and secure (e.g. with flange shaft).
– Insert planet pinions offset 180° and pivot into position.
– Press in differential pinion pin (-arrow A-) to first planet pinion.
– Place threaded pieces -arrows B- in sun gears.
Installation position: shoulder to sun gear.
– Drive differential pinion pin into final position and secure with
