Input Shaft Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

When installing new gears or a new input shaft, refer to CODES LETTERS, ALLOCATION AND CAPACITIES and to the Parts Information.

The input shaft must be adjusted because the position of the tapered roller bearing is affected when parts are replaced. Pay attention to the adjustment overview, refer to ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW .

Replace both tapered roller bearings together.

Heat the toothed gear and synchronizer hub to approximately 100 °C (212 °F) using the Hot Air BlowerV.A.G. 1416. Wear safety gloves.
