Transmission Installation Tightening Specifications: TRANSMISSION, INSTALLING
-- Before installing a replacement transmission, always clean out the ATF cooler and ATF pipes using compressed air (maximum 10 bar). Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LINES, CLEANING .
-- Clean residue from the threaded holes in the cylinder block using a thread tap before installing.
-- When installing a replacement transmission, install the transmission support, the transmission mounting and the tunnel crossmember on the new transmission. Refer to TUNNEL CROSSMEMBER, TRANSMISSION MOUNT AND TRANSMISSION SUPPORT OVERVIEW .
-- Mount the transmission onto the T40173 and secure it using the tension strap -1- as illustrated.
-- The following preparations must be made before connecting the engine and transmission:
-- Turn the torque converter so that the hole next to the notch -arrow- is visible in the lower cut-out in the transmission housing as illustrated.
There is only 1 notch on the circumference; rotate the torque converter as needed.
-- Insert the T40170 in the transmission housing from below and secure it on the flange shaft -1-.
-- Check if the alignment sleeves -A- for centering the engine/transmission are in the cylinder block and insert them if they are not.
-- Inspect the aluminum bolts used to connect the engine to the transmission to see if they can be used again and mark them, if necessary TRANSMISSION, INSTALLING .
-- Place the transmission on the engine and tighten the bolts -6 through 11- that connect the engine to the transmission.
-- Remove the T40170.
-- Clip the locking piece -1- into the starter opening.
- The locking piece -1- must be installed so that it fits correctly -arrows-.
There are different versions of the locking piece depending on the engine.
Apply some grease to the locking piece if it is difficult to install the starter.
-- Install the starter. Refer to STARTER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Loosen the spindles 10 - 222 A /11.
-- Raise the transmission and tighten the tunnel crossmember bolts -arrows-. Refer to TUNNEL CROSSMEMBER, TRANSMISSION MOUNT AND TRANSMISSION SUPPORT OVERVIEW .
-- Loosen the tension strap and remove the V.A.G 1383 A with the T40173 from under the transmission.
The following step is necessary to make sure the torque converter rests on the drive plate evenly and is not tilted.
-- Press the torque converter -2- against the drive plate -3- slightly in the direction of the -arrow- using an assembly lever -1-.
-- Attach the torque converter to the drive plate as follows:
Tighten the bolts with the V.A.G 1332/14.
-- Install the first bolt -arrow- and tighten by hand (2 Nm).
-- Continue turning the crankshaft on the vibration damper 240° in direction of engine rotation using the T10355.
-- With the crankshaft in this position, tighten the bolt -arrow- to 60 Nm.
-- Continue turning the crankshaft 120° and tighten the remaining 2 bolts to the tightening specification.
Install in reverse order of removal paying attention to the following:
-- Tighten the remaining bolts -2 through 5-.
The bolt -2- attaches the starter to the transmission and also has a spacer -arrow-.
The spacer sleeve must be inserted between the starter and the transmission.
-- Install the ATF pipes. Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER AND LINES OVERVIEW .
-- Install selector lever cable. Refer to SELECTOR LEVER CABLE .
-- Attach the steering column to the steering gear. Refer to STEERING COLUMN .
-- Install the subframe crossbrace. Refer to SUBFRAME CROSSBRACE, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Attach the left and right drive axles to the transmission flange shafts. Refer to FRONT SUSPENSION .
-- Install the driveshaft heat shield TRANSMISSION, INSTALLING .
-- Install the driveshaft Removal and Installation or Removal and Installation .
-- Install exhaust system and adjust free of tension. Refer to [For engine(s) CAEB] Exhaust System, Emission Controls .
-- Install the noise insulation. Refer to NOISE INSULATION .
-- Connect the battery. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
There is a risk of destroying control modules with excess voltage.
- Do not use a charger as a starting aid.
-- Check the selector lever cable and adjust if necessary. Refer to SELECTOR LEVER CABLE, ADJUSTING .
-- Check the ATF level and correct if necessary. Refer to ATF, CHECKING LEVEL AND CORRECTING .

- Audi A4 from VIN 8K-9A-066500, Audi A5 from VIN 8T-9A-008000: the aluminum bolts -2 through 11- may be used two times. Therefore, the bolts must be marked with two notches X made by a chisel after they have be used the first time -arrow-.
- Bolts marked with an X cannot be used any further.
