Transmission, removing and installing: Installing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Audi A4, 2004 Audi A4, 2003 Audi A4, and 2002 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Installation of transmission is the reverse of removal. The following points must also be observed:

Before installing:

Clean threads in output flange/driveshaft flange using a tap.
Clean ATF lines → ATF lines and ATF cooler, cleaning .
Insert torque converter correctly into transmission

CAUTION: In case of an incorrectly inserted torque converter, the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF-pump will be destroyed, if the transmission is flanged to the engine.

Installation dimension for torque converter, checking

Fig 1: Checking Torque Converter Is Correctly Positioned

When torque converter is installed correctly, distance between lower contact surface of threaded holes at torque converter and contact surface of converter housing on Automatic Transmission 01V is approx. 23 mm.

If the torque converter is not inserted completely, this distance will be approx. 11 mm.

Make sure bushings are correctly seated.

NOTE:

If the bushings get stuck in the transmission housing, they must be removed and new bushings must be installed on the engine.

Fig 4: Setting Up Transmission Support 3282

Courtesy of VOLKSWAGEN UNITED STATES, INC.

Prepare transmission support 3282 for Automatic Transmission 01V with adjustment plate 3282/10 and place it on the engine/transmission hoist VAG1383A.

NOTE:

The symbols on the adjustment plate indicate the necessary mounts for Automatic Transmission 01V and the arrow points toward front of vehicle.

Place transmission onto transmission support.

Secure transmission on transmission support 3282 using bolt - A -.
Move transmission into position between the lowered subframe and vehicle floor.
Align transmission properly to engine.
Tighten one engine/transmission connecting bolt at either side by hand.

Make sure that wires do not get pinched as transmission is docked at engine.

CAUTION: Keep checking whether the torque converter behind the drive plate can be turned before and during tightening of the bolts at engine/transmission flange. If the torque converter cannot be turned, it must be assumed that it has not been inserted properly and that the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the bolts.
