• ‒ Press out the pin for the locking pawl using a punch.
• ‒ Lift out the selector lever lock solenoid together with the locking pawl.
• ‒ Carefully lever the detent spring for the selector lever settings out of the bearing cup working from the outside.
• ‒ Lever out both pivot pins of the cable lever/retainer.
• ‒ Pull the cable lever/retainer out of the bearing cup with the opening of the retainer facing upwards.
• ‒ Unclip the retainer from the cable lever.

Assembling

• ‒ Clip the retainer into the cable lever.
• ‒ Push the cable lever/retainer from above into the bearing cup with the retainer opening first.
• ‒ Drive the two pivot pins of the cable lever/retainer from both sides into the bearing cup right to the limit.
• ‒ Press the detent spring with roller for the selector lever setting fully into its mounting in the bearing cup.
• ‒ Push the selector lever lock solenoid into the bearing cup from above together with the locking pawl.
• ‒ Drive the pin for the locking pawl in carefully.
• ‒ Check the engagement of the locking pawl in "P" and "N" on the selector lever mechanically using a screwdriver.
• ‒ Insert the complete selector lever in the bearing cup.
• ‒ Attach the selector lever at the bottom and the top in the cable lever.

• ‒ Push the two bearing bushes for the selector lever into the bearing cup from the front and rear respectively.
• ‒ Fit the locks for the bearing bushes in the bearing cup so their angled ends face inwards.
• ‒ Press the detent spring for the Tiptronic setting fully into its mounting in the bearing cup.
• ‒ Shift selector lever into position "2".

Dismantling and assembling the selector lever

• ‒ Removing the selector lever => from Page 37-31.

Dismantling

• ‒ → Drive out the pivot pin of the selector lever using a punch.
• ‒ Push the shift gate with Tiptronic springing out of the selector lever with the pull rod raised.
• ‒ Relieve the pressure on the compression spring and remove the pull rod and compression spring likewise from the selector lever.

Assembling

• ‒ → Mount compression spring -B- on pull rod -A-.
• ‒ Insert pull rod with compression spring into selector lever.

Installation position:

The rounded edge -arrow- and bevel point in direction of travel.

• ‒ Check that the pull rod is running on both guides -C- of the selector lever.

• ‒ → With the pull rod -D- raised push the shift gate -B- with Tiptronic spring arrangement into the selector lever -A-.
• ‒ Drive in the pivot pin -C- of the selector lever using a punch => Page 37-35, Fig. N37-0524.
• ‒ As a securing fixture mount two new studs -arrows- at a 90° offset to the existing ones.

The pivot pin must not have more than 4 studs.
