General Repair Notes

To ensure flawless and successful transmission repairs, the greatest care and cleanliness as well as the use of good and proper tools is essential. The usual basic safety precautions also, naturally apply when carrying out vehicle repairs.

A number of generally applicable instructions for individual repair operations, which are otherwise mentioned at various points in the article, are summarized here. They apply to this article.

Transmission

• Observe rules of cleanliness for working on the transmission --> Rules for cleanliness when working on transmission.
• After transmission repairs, clean ATF lines and ATF cooler --> 37 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - CONTROLS, HOUSING .
• Reusable components must be cleaned, checked and reconditioned if necessary before installation --> Transmission components, evaluating wear
• The old transmission should be installed and put into operation as quickly as possible to prevent corrosion on the newly installed components.

After installing, following fluid levels must be checked and topped off if necessary:

• Top off ATF level after repair --> 37 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - CONTROLS, HOUSING .
• Gear oil in front final drive --> 39 - FINAL DRIVE, DIFFERENTIAL .
• Capacities and specifications --> 00 - GENERAL, TECHNICAL DATA .

O-rings, gaskets, seals

• O-rings, gaskets and seals must be replaced.
• After removing gaskets, examine contact surface on housing/shaft for burr resulting from removal or for other signs of damage.
• Open sides of oil seals face fluid side.
• To install, thinly coat gaskets along outer circumference and on sealing lip with ATF.

• Coat O-rings with transmission fluid or Vaseline before inserting to prevent crushing rings during installation.
• Use only ATF or Vaseline in areas near ATF. Other types of lubrication cause malfunctions to occur in the transmission hydraulics.
• When pressing in new gaskets, make sure the sealing lip does not run on the same point as the sealing lip of the old seal (use insertion depth tolerances).
• Replace paper seals, always clean sealing surfaces and remove old seals completely.

Bolts and nuts

• Loosen bolts in reverse order of tightening.
• Loosen and tighten bolts and nuts for securing covers and housings in a diagonal sequence and in stages, when no tightening sequence is specified.
• The tightening torques stated apply to unoiled bolts and nuts.
• Replace self-locking bolts and nuts.

Locking elements

• Do not over-stretch circlips.
• Always replace circlips which have been damaged or over-tensioned.
• Circlips must be properly seated in the base of the groove.
• Replace spring pins. Installation position: Slot is longitudinal to line of force.

Bearings

• Slightly grease mount with ATF before inserting.
• Attach mount and adjustment shims only with Vaseline. Other lubricants cause malfunctions of the hydraulic transmission controls.

Contact corrosion!

General:

Contact corrosion can occur if non-approved fasteners are used on vehicle (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.).

For this reason, all fasteners used in production are specially treated. These parts can be identified by their greenish color.

Rubber, plastic and adhesives also consist of non-conductive materials.

If you are not sure whether used parts can be re-installed, always install new parts.

The following points should be observed especially for transmission:

• Multitronic transmission 01J or 0AN housing is made of magnesium alloy.
• Bolts and other components which have direct contact with transmission have a surface coating which is matched to magnesium transmission housing.
• On magnesium transmissions, bolts must always be replaced on following bolted connections: Transmission housing cover and final drive cover on transmission housing as well as engine bolts on transmission.
• Contact corrosion occurs when incorrect components (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used. The transmission housing will be damaged.

• Transmission housing, transmission cover and differential cover must all be of same material.
• If you are not sure whether used parts can be re-installed, always install new parts.

CAUTION:

Accessories must be approved by AUDI AG! Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by the warranty!

Rules for cleanliness when working on transmission

• Carefully clean all joints and adjacent areas before disconnecting.
• Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Use sheeting or paper. Use lint-free cloths only!
• Carefully cover or plug unpacked components if repairs cannot be performed immediately.
• Only install clean parts: Remove packing from replacement parts immediately prior to installation and not before.

• Repeat measurement on 2 additional places on thrust plate off-set at 120°.
• Using these three measurements, calculate thrust plate average M _D .

Average: " (Value 1 + Value 2 + Value 3) : 3 = M _D "

Determining air play

• Determine air gap on the basis of the following calculations:

	Average of thrust plate measurements " M D " (Value 1 + Value 2 + Value 3) : 3
	Average of clutch measurements " M K " (Value 1 + Value 2 + Value 3 + Value 4) : 4
=	Air gap

Air gap = " M _D " " M _K "

Air gap specified value: 1.4 ± 0.2 mm.

If specified value is not obtained:

A - Measured value too small:

• Insert corresponding thinner adjustment disc, lower adjustment disc must also be replaced, if necessary.
• Check air gap again after installing new adjustment disc --> Input shaft with 6 lining discs, adjusting with air gap determination.

B - Measured value too large:

• Insert corresponding thicker adjustment disc, lower adjustment disc must also be replaced, if necessary.
• Check air gap again after installing new adjustment disc --> Input shaft with 6 lining discs, adjusting with air gap determination.

Following adjustment discs are available:

Available adjustment discs [thickness in mm]
1.90	2.15	2.65
2.90	3.15

NOTE:
