• ‒ → Remove electrical connections (arrows) at gearbox.

• ‒ Disconnect drive shafts at flanges.

• ‒ → Remove bracket -A- for bevel box (arrows).
• ‒ Pull speedometer connector and sensor off bevel box.

• ‒ → Disconnect left-hand lower wheel bearing housing/swivel joint bolted connection.
• ‒ Turn steering to left lock and press drive shaft out of wheel bearing housing.
• ‒ Remove left-hand drive shaft, ensuring multi function switch is not damaged.
• ‒ Lower engine/gearbox via support device spindles until the left-hand assembly mounting bolts are accessible.

• ‒ → Remove 2 bolts (arrows) of left-hand assembly mounting.

• ‒ Remove upper engine/gearbox connecting bolts.
• ‒ Remove nuts (Qty. 3) with special tool V175 and take torque converter cover plate off torque converter.

• ‒ → Set up gearbox support 3282.

The gearbox mount 3282 is set up with the adjusting plate 3282/22 for removing the four wheel drive automatic gearbox 099.

• ‒ Move jack V.A.G 1383 A with gearbox mount 3282 under the gearbox and support gearbox.

• ‒ Press torque converter against ATF pump.
• ‒ Lower gearbox slightly.
• ‒ Swivel gearbox and carefully lower.
• ‒ Secure torque converter to prevent it falling out.

Installing

Installation is performed in the reverse order.

When installing the torque converter, ensure that both drive pins engage in the ATF pump inner wheel recesses.

• ‒ Before installing, ensure that the dowel sleeves are correctly located.
• ‒ → Before lifting engine/gearbox remove the 4 left-hand assembly mounting bolts again (arrows).

• ‒ → First tighten 2 mounting bolts (arrows) on top of gearbox to 60 Nm.
• ‒ Always use correctconnecting boltsengine/gearbox, the engine housing could be damaged if the bolts are too long.

→ Pendulum support to gearbox

There are 2 different length bolts -A-

Tightening torques

→ a - 78 mm = 70 Nm

a - 88 mm = 60 Nm and turn 90°further

• ‒ Renew the bolts with a length of 88 mm always.

The same version must be installed again.

If the pendulum support is renewed, the longer bolt version -A- must be installed.

• ‒ Check selector lever cable adjustment, adjust if necessary => Page 37-3.
• ‒ Measure distance between propshaft and steering box and adjust if necessary => Page 39-94.
• ‒ Check all electrical connections; cover/seal must prevent ingress of moisture (visual check).
• ‒ Check and top up ATF level .
• ‒ Perform self-diagnosis and introduce basic setting.

=> Automataic gearbox 099 four-wheel drive -self-diagnosis-; Repair group 01; Performing self-diagnosis

Tightening torques

• ‒ → Bracket -A- to engine (1): 60 Nm
• ‒ Bracket -A- to bevel box (2): 25 Nm

→ Left assembly mounting:

A = 55 Nm
B = 100 Nm
C = 60 Nm

Transporting the automatic gearbox
