Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Notes:

The following points are essential to ensure proper adjustment:

• ◆ 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.

Note:

Gear stick cover is removed together with centre console cover.

• ‒ → Lift off centre console cover slightly -arrows A-.
• ‒ Pull cover slightly to rear -arrow B- and then lift off entire cover assembly.
• ‒ If fitted, lift out noise insulation over shift mechanism.

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

• ‒ Measure gap between body and shift mechanism.

• ● → Gap -a- must be 43 mm

• ‒ If this is not the case, gap -a- should be set as follows:
• ‒ Slacken off bolt -arrow- for push rod.

• ● Push rod/shift mechanism connection must move freely

• ‒ Set dimension -a- by moving shift mechanism.
• ‒ Tighten bolt for push rod to 25 Nm.

• ‒ → Slacken off bolt -arrow- for selector rod.

• ● Selector rod/shift mechanism connection must move freely

• ● → Insert Allen key -A- (14 mm) between left lug -arrow 1- (in direction of travel) of ball stop and slanting side surface of ball stop -arrow 2- and hold in position.
• ● Key must make contact over entire length of slanting surface -arrow 2-.

• ‒ → At the same time, align gear stick such that it is slightly (7°) to rear.

• ‒ → Tighten bolt for selector rod to 25 Nm.
• ‒ In doing so, position of gear stick must not be altered
