Manual Transmission and Differential, Remove and Install

-Vehicles without Catalytic Converter

 

If only the transmission is to be removed, e.g. for the operations "Transmission, Overhaul" or "Synchronizer Rings, Replace", the transmission end shield together with the main shaft and turbine shaft should be removed from the main case (see operation "Synchronizer Rings, Replace" in this group).

 

The illustrations show F 16 manual transmission.

F 16 Manual Transmission (only 18 E and 20 E engines)

Drive L.H. axle shaft from main case using KM-503-A.

 

Press R.H. axle shaft out of main case using mounting iron.

 

Important: Fluid escapes. Therefore, immediately seal both openings for axle shafts against oil and dirt, using plugs (available from P & A Department).

Immediately suspend axle shafts, do not allow them to sag.

 

Note: If, in exceptional cases, axle shaft catches during dismantling and cannot be driven out of main case, it should be driven out using a flat chisel placed between shaft end and bevel gear shaft.

To do this, remove cover for differential (fluid will escape).

Important:

If the complete transmission with differential is not to be subsequently overhauled and is therefore not to be fastened to the trans- mission support, the unit should be carefully stored. The assembly may not rest on the transmission turbine shaft ends, the shift rod joint, the clutch release lever, the screw cap for bleeding the transmission, the reversing lamp switch or the speedometer drive.

 

Store assembly in the same position in which it is installed.

 

 

Install

 

Bolt main case to engine block - 75 Nm/55.32 lbf. ft.

Install first rear and then front engine mountings free of tension - 75 Nm/55.32 lbf. ft. or 65 Nm/47.94 lbf. ft.

 

To fasten rear engine mounting (damper block), coat new bolts (not micro-encapsulated) with Locking Compound 15 10 177 (90 167 347).

Recut both threaded holes to M 10 x 1.25.

 

First press both axle shafts into main case. Then drive them in with a screwdriver until snap ring catches.

Position screwdriver on bead of friction weld (not on metal covering).

After snap ring catches, check for secure seating by pulling by hand at widest part of joint.

 

Important:

Secure seating of axle shaft cannot be checked by pulling shaft itself.

 

Beforehand, insert new snap ring into stub groove of joint.

 

Important: Do not overstress snap ring.

Beforehand, lubricate axle shaft bearing in differential housing with Transmission Fluid 19 40 750 (90 001 777).

After cap has been screwed tight, distance between front of cover and surface of end shield must not exceed 4 mm/0.157 in., in order to obtain specified sealing screw depth.

 

Screw ground strap to end shield.

 

Tighten wheel bolts, alternating crosswise - 90 Nm/66.38 lbf. ft.

Secure turbine shaft with snap ring.

Use new snap ring.

 

Bolt transmission cover to end shield.

Prescribed torque:

M 7 x 1.0  = 15 Nm/11.06 lbf. ft.
