Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Requirements:

• ◆ Moving parts of shift mechanism and transmission elements must be in perfect condition
• ◆ Shift mechanism must move freely
• ◆ Gearbox, clutch and clutch mechanism in perfect working order
• ◆ Gearbox in neutral

• ‒ Twist knob off gear stick.
• ‒ Remove cover for gear stick.

• ‒ → Unscrew noise insulation for shift mechanism housing -arrows-.

• ‒ Measure distance between body and rear push rod (in shift mechanism).
• ‒ → Specification: Dimension a = 37 mm

• ‒ If this is not the case, distance -a- should be set as follows:
• ‒ → Slacken off bolt -arrow 2- for push rod.
• ‒ Rear push rod (in shift mechanism) must move freely back and forth on slider
• ‒ Set dimension -a- by adjusting rear push rod (in shift mechanism).
• ‒ Tighten bolt for push rod -2- to 23 Nm.

• ‒ → Unfasten nuts for ball housing -arrow A- and -arrow B-.
• ‒ Horizontally align ball housing.
• ‒ Tighten nuts for ball housing -arrow A- and -arrow B- to 23 Nm.

• ‒ → Slacken off bolt -arrow- for selector rod.
• ‒ Selector rod/shift mechanism connection must move freely

• ‒ Adjust gear stick as follows:
• ‒ → Swivel gear stick to right or left until dimension x = 8.5 mm.

Note:

Fig. shows gear stick from rear in direction of travel.

• ‒ → Gear stick is thus tilted 3°to right - angle α.

• ‒ → Gear stick tilted slightly (approx. 7°) to rear - angleβ

Note:

Fig. shows gear stick from right.

• ‒ Hold gear stick in this position.
• ‒ Tighten bolt for selector rod to 23 Nm.

Note:

Position of gear stick must not be altered by tightening bolt.

• ‒ Check gear stick setting .
