AUDI A6 2000 C5 / 2.G Changing Clutch 5Speed Manual Gearbox

Removing gearbox Installing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order; note the following:
‒ Clean input shaft splines and (in the case of used clutch plates) the hub splines. Remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of grease G 000 100 to the splines. Do not grease guide sleeve. It should be possible to push the clutch
plate back and forth slightly.
‒ Check clutch release bearing for
wear, replace if necessary.
‒ → If the plastic ring of the release
bearing is loose, it must be bonded
back onto the bearing ring with
adhesive AMV 195 KD1 01.
Three rectangular lugs -arrows- on the plastic ring engage into recesses in the bearing ring.
If any score marks deeper than 0.5 are present, the bearing ring must be replaced.
‒ Lightly lubricate contact surface for
push rod at clutch release lever with
copper grease, e.g. Z 381 351 TE.
‒ All threaded holes in which self-locking bolts are to be screwed must be cleaned of residual locking
compound using a thread tap.
‒ Check whether the dowel sleeves for centralising engine/gearbox are in
the cylinder block; install if
necessary. ‒ Renew all self locking nuts.
‒ If fitted, ensure that the intermediate
plate is correctly positioned on the
engine.
‒ → Lift gearbox until clutch slave
cylinder with bracket for hose/pipe
can be installed (arrow).
Note:
Carefully press the clutch pedal after the
slave cylinder has been installed. If an
unusually hard pressure point is noticeable when the pedal is pressed, the clutch pedal must not be pressed any further. The
tappet of the slave cylinder has probably
been moved past the clutch release lever.
The slave cylinder will be destroyed with a pedal force of approx. 300 N and above. Page 1 of 45-Speed Manual Gearbox 01A 4WD4.3.2014vw-wi://rl/A.en-GB.4B-S-S01AA.wi::21141329.xml?xsl=2

‒ Install lower engine/gearbox securing bolts and bolts for starter. For this
purpose, insert the starter.
