Setting drive shaft up to gearbox manufacturing date 18 05 3

Note

t	The setting instruction is only valid for gearboxes up to gearbox manufacturing date 18 05 3 (bearing of drive shaft with tapered-roller bearings).

t	The bearing of the drive shaft is modified as of gearbox manufacturing date 19 05 3 → Chapter. Then the setting does not apply.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

t	Gauge block plate -MP3-405/17 (VW 385/17)-

t	Pressure spindle -MP3-423 (VW 407)-

t	Universal dial gauge holder -MP3-447 (VW 387)-

t	Gearbox mount -MP3-501- or gearbox mount -T30109 (VW 353)- with retaining plate -T30108-

t	Washer -MP6-415 (3260)-

t	Retaining plate -T30027 (VW 801)-

t	Thrust piece -T30042 (2050)-

t	Interior extractor 46...58 mm, e.g. -Kukko 21/7-

t	Countersupport e.g. -Kukko 22/2-

t	Dial gauge

The drive shaft must be re-set when the following components are replaced:

t	Gearbox housing

t	Clutch housing

t	Drive shaft

t	Tapered-roller bearing

Setting overview → Chapter.

l	Measured washer thicknesses for both output shafts are installed.

–	Press the outer ring/tapered-roller bearing up to the stop without adjusting washer into the gearbox housing. While doing so support the gearbox housing with a pressure plate -T30042 (2050)- directly below the bearing support.

–	Insert both output shafts and the drive shaft in the clutch housing and install gearbox housing. Tighten screws to 25 Nm.

–	Fit measuring device and dial gauge in the clutch housing.

A -	Dial gauge extension = 30 mm

–	Turn the drive shaft before measuring to ensure the tapered-roller bearing sets. Set the dial gauge to “0” with 1 mm bias.

Note

This procedure must be repeated before each subsequent measurement, because otherwise the dial gauge does not return to its initial setting .

–	Pull drive shaft in direction of dial gauge.

–	Read off play on dial gauge and note (in the example = 1.63 mm).

–	Determine the thickness of the adjusting washer according to the table → Chapter (example 1.55 mm); part number → Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts.

–	Remove the gearbox housing and pull out the outer ring/tapered-roller bearing from the gearbox housing.

A -	Countersupport, e.g. -Kukko 22/2-

B -	Interior extractor 46...58 mm, e.g. -Kukko 21/7-

–	Insert the determined adjusting washer (in this example: 1.55 mm) and press the outer ring/tapered-roller bearing into the gearbox housing. While doing so, support the gearbox housing with a thrust piece -T30042 (2050)- directly below the bearing support.

–	Fit gearbox housing and tighten new screws to tightening torque → Chapter or → Chapter.
