Proper tools and the maximum possible care and cleanliness are essential for satisfactory gearbox repairs. Naturally, the normal basic safety regulations should be followed during repairs.
General instructions for certain repair work that appear repeatedly in the Repair Manual are summarised below. They apply for this individual Workshop Manual.
   
The gearbox has a hole in the housing.
–  Make sure no small parts drop into this hole during installation work.
–  Cover the hole with a cloth before installation work.

Always make sure that no dirt can enter an »open« gearbox.
t  If gearbox covers have been unbolted or gearbox has no fluid, do not run engine. Do not tow vehicle.
t  First thoroughly clean connecting points and surrounding areas and then loosen bolts.
t  When installing, check for proper seating of dowel sleeves between engine and gearbox.
t  Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them to prevent them from getting dirty. Use foil or paper. Use only lint-free cloths.
t  Only install clean components: remove the original spare parts from their packing only immediately before installing them.
t  If repair work cannot be performed immediately, carefully cover opened components.
   
In some vehicles, a cover is fitted over the engaging levers.
The cover prevents dirt getting in.
