When installing transmission, make sure 
centering sleeves are correctly seated. 
     Place parts that have been removed on a clean 
surface and cover. Use foils and paper. Use 
lint-free cloths only! 
     Carefully cover over opened components or 
seal, if repairs are not carried out immediately. 
     Only install clean components: Only unpack 
replacement parts immediately prior to 
installation. 
     Check, and if necessary correct amount of the 
following fluids when replacing the automatic 
transmission. ATF in planetary gear   page 37

Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before 
assembling and apply sealing compound AMV 
188 200 03. 
    
Before installing, fill gap between sealing lips (arrow) of radial-shaft 
seals half way with sealing grease 052 128 A1. The open side of the seals face toward the fluid to be sealed in.For installation, lightly coat outer circumference and sealing lip with 
ATF or transmission oil, depending on the installation location. Lightly lubricate O-rings before installing, this prevents the rings from 
being pinched when inserting. Use only ATF in areas near ATF. Other lubricating substances cause 
functional problems in the hydraulic transmission control. When pressing in new seals, make sure the sealing lip does not run 
on the same point as the sealing lip of the old seal (use insertion 
depth tolerances). After installing, check and if necessary correct fluid levels in the 
affected area. ATF in planetary gear   page 37

Mounts  
     
Install needle bearings with the lettering on the 
bearing (the side with thicker metal) facing the 
drift. 
     Insert bearing with transmission oil or ATF, 
depending on installation location. 
     Tapered roller bearings for output shaft and 
differential in rear final drive are low-friction 
bearings. Do not grease new tapered roller 
bearings additionally for friction torque 
measurement. The bearings are already 
greased with a special oil from the factory for 
this reason. 
     Do not interchange inner and outer bearing 
races with those from other bearings of the 
same size. 
     Tapered roller bearings are allocated to the 
date of transmission manufacture and code 
letters in the parts catalog. 
     Always replace tapered roller bearings on one 
shaft together and use new bearings from the 
same manufacturer.
