Power transmissionRemoving and installing the gearbox

Installing the gearbox Installation is performed in the reverse order. Pay attention to the following points: –  Clean the drive shaft serration and hub serration on used clutch discs, remove corrosion. Only apply a very thin layer grease for plug serration of clutch disc -G 000 100- on the drive shaft serration. Do not grease guide sleeve. The clutch plate must slide freely up and down the drive shaft. –  Inspect clutch release bearing for wear, replace if necessary. –  If the plastic ring on the release bearing is loose, apply some adhesive -AMV 195 KD1 01- and secure it again to the bearing ring.

The three rectangular pegs -arrows- of the plastic ring are inserted into the recesses in the bearing ring. if there is scoring deeper than 0.5 mm, the release bearing must be replaced. –  Check whether the dowel sleeves for centering the engine/gearbox are present in the cylinder block; insert if necessary. If the dowel sleeves are not present, this can result in difficulties to shift, clutch problems and if necessary noises from gearbox (gear rattling). –  Thinly lubricate the tappet contact surface on the clutch release lever with copper grease -N 052 159 00-. –  Tie up electrical wiring and bracket to the side before installing the gearbox, so that they do not get trapped between engine and gearbox. –  Clean all threaded holes into which self-locking bolts are inserted, with a thread tap to remove residues of the locking fluid. –  Raise the gearbox until the slave cylinder and tube-hose line bracket can be installed.

–  Insert the slave cylinder -1- into the hole provided in the gearbox housing, with no more lateral deviation from the direction of action of the tappet -arrow A-. –  To do so insert into the contact recess -arrow B- of the clutch release lever -3-. Then screw in the new Allan screw -2- at the gearbox.   Note When inserting the slave cylinder -1- in a tilt position, there is the risk that the tappet -arrow A- is guided past the clutch release lever -3-.

–  Before installing the gearbox check whether strut -B- is still swung to the side -arrow-. –  Align the gearbox to the engine and insert. Ensuring clearance to drive shafts.

–  Loosen screw -1- (at the rear on the turbocharger) by some turns and turn strut -2- perpendicularly downwards. –  Then screw in the upper and side engine/gearbox connecting screws -arrows- by hand. –  Tighten screw -1- → Engine; Rep. Gr.21. –  Tighten engine/gearbox connecting screws with torque → Chapter. –  Attach the torque stop (front engine mount) to cross tube → Engine; Rep. Gr.10. –  Install the starter motor → Electrical System; Rep. Gr.27. –  Align the front exhaust pipe with catalytic converter so that they are not under tension → Engine; Rep. Gr.26. –  Attach left and right drive shafts to the flange shafts → Chassis; Rep. Gr.40. –  Inspecting gear oil → Chapter. –  Setting the shift mechanism → Chapter. –  Install the noise insulation → Body Work; Rep. Gr.50. –  Connect earth cable of the battery and carry out work steps after connecting the battery → Electrical System; Rep. Gr.27.
