Determining shim -A-

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 20 other vehicles, including the 2007 Volkswagen Golf, 2006 Volkswagen Golf, 2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 2005 Volkswagen Golf, and 2004 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A - Shim

1 - ATF pump

2 - Reverse gear clutch -K2-

3 - 1st to 3rd gear clutch -K1-

4 - 4th gear clutch -K3-

Determine gap "x" and calculate shim thickness.

Gap x = a - b

Calculating "a":

For the measuring sequence the transmission housing must be clamped into assembly stand so that the input gear is facing downward, as illustrated on. Refer to Clutch play between -K1- and -K2-, adjusting .

Place straightedge "A" onto transmission housing.
Press -K1- together with -K3- down in direction of arrow and measure distance into -K1- with depth gauge "B".

Example:

Reading 1 = 88.5 mm

Measure with depth gauge "B" to pump flange on transmission housing.

Example:

Reading 2 = 34.3 mm

Reading 1	=	88.5 mm
- Reading 2	=	- 34.3 mm
Calculated size a	=	54.2 mm

= Size measured from pump flange/transmission housing into -K1-

Calculating "b":

Place new paper gasket onto ATF pump.

Place straightedge -B- onto stator support (arrow) and measure with depth gauge -A- to gasket of pump flange.

Example:

Reading	=	70.5 mm
- Straightedge	=	- 19.5 mm
Calculated size b	=	51.0 mm

Gap x = a - b

= 54.2 mm - 51.0 mm = 3.2 mm

Determine size of shim according to table:
