Check oil level
■ Bring the transmission to operating temperature, i.e. the oil temperature

must then be at least 60 °C ( = 140 °F).
Note! The transmission oil temperature is about the same as the cooling
water temperature. The cooling water temperature indicator can therefore
be used for determining the transmission oil temperature.
■ Place the vehicle in horizontal position.
Danger! Apply the parking brake before carrying out further maintenance
work on the bus, so that the vehicle cannot move on its own!
■ Press the N key and thus bring the transmission to its neutral position.
■ Start the engine and let it run at idle speed.
■ Withdraw the dipstick from its guide tube and clean it.
■ Insert the dipstick again briefly to prevent wrong oil level reading by splash
oil.
■ Read the oil level.

The two nominal marks max. and min. are important.
The difference in quantity between "min." and "max." is about 2.5 l.
Note! Too little oil:Transmission malfunction.

Consequence: e.g. disk damage!
Too much oil: Consequences: e.g. higher fuel consumption,
oil escapes at the breather!
Note! For silumin heat exchangers: Only use anti-freeze and/or anti-corrosive agents in the cooling
water which do not attack light metal (see also "Technical Manuals").
With oil grades according to List of Lubricants 55.6335. ..* (G 607):
every 60 000 km, at least every 2 years, however.
Change oil and oil filter for DIWA.2, DIWA.3

II Voith. Fault Finding DIWA.3, DIWA.3E

Procedure for finding faults in DIWA.3 and DIWA.3E transmissions
If transmission malfunctions occur, fault may be present in
a) the control unit records,
b) in the electrical or
c) mechanical part of electromechanical or
d) purely mechanical components.
In the case of faults in a) and b), use of "Diagnostic Manual" and "Trouble Shooting",
if required, alone may be sufficient for repair. However, since malfunctions in c) and
d) are not detected by the control or diagnosis, it is recommended to refer to the ap-
propriate Voith documentation and programs for transmission malfunction repairs in
the following order, for example:
Read out the fault memory of the transmission control unit by means of the diagnostic
program DIWAGNOSIS:
Diagnostic Manual
Analysis of malfunctions and list of remedies, including, perhaps, information about

transmission design and operation in the "Technical Manuals" and "Technical Des-
criptions with Oil Control Diagrams" for DIWA.3 and DIWA.3E:

Voith. Fault Finding DIWA.3, DIWA.3E V

Differences concerning the symptoms of transmission
malfunctions in DIWA.3E and DIWA.3
In general, the symptoms are similar for both transmission variants. The statements
below therefore apply to both variants unless otherwise indicated.
1. A major difference between DIWA.3E and DIWA.3 transmissions is the converter

filling control (CFC) which does not exist in DIWA.3.
The purpose of converter inlet control is to improve application of the converter
brake also at high vehicle speeds in 4th (and perhaps also 3rd) gear. Among other
things, the hydraulic control includes two new valves: a converter inlet valve and
a breather valve. The converter drain valve has been modified. Other parts, such
as the turbine accumulator, have been dispensed with.
Differences regarding the symptoms of transmission malfunctions can therefore
be found in the chapters describing converter operation, i. e. the first gear (DIWA TDIBQU DIBQU
drive range), the reverse gear, and braking with the converter. DIBQU
2. The location of SK and WR solenoid valves in the valve block has been changed. TFFDIBQUFS
3. There were some minor changes to the circuit diagram. TFFBQQFOEJDFT

First check in case of faults
■ By means of the Voith diagnostic program. Its use is described in the Diagnostic
Manual.
Continued operation possible,
■ wf the transmission does no longer shift to 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear, but operation in
1st gear is normal.
Causes:
– failure of the inductive pick-up,
– cable break or short.
Emergency operation possible
■ by means of emergency control cable in 1st gear. Always note that connection of
the cable will engage 1st gear. Therefore:
Danger! Apply the parking brake when the bus is stopped to prevent that the
vehicle can move unintentionally!
Towing
Note! In order to prevent damage to the DIWA transmission when the vehicle is
towed, the following must be observed:
■ Set the transmission to neutral and screw off plug from the transmission or elec-
tronic control unit.
■ In case of transmission damage: remove cardan shaft or stub shaft of rear axle.
■ If there is no transmission damage the vehicle can be towed with the cardan shaft
installed, yet only up to a distance of 10 km. The maximum towing speed is
30 km/h.

8.1 Operating pressure
The uniform nominal value for the operating pressure is:

pA = 8.5 bar (tolerance ± 0.2 bar).
Measure the pressure only at an oil temperature of 80 - 90 °C (= 176 - 194 °F), imme-
diately after shifting to 2nd gear (engine speed approx. 1500 rpm).
Nominal value at idle speed (n ≥ approx. 500 - 600 rpm) pA ≥ 3.5 bar.
Measuring points
The operating pressure is usually
measured at the measuring point (fi-
gure 1/1).
If a measuring cover (figs. 2 and 3)

is used, pressures which must cor-
respond to the operating pressure
are measured at the measuring
points for the clutches resp. brakes
DK, EK, PB, WP and SK.
Fig. 2: Meas. points for DIWA.3
Fig. 3: Meas. points for DIWA.3E
Note! The WR oil pressure is cy-

cled and therefore variable over
time, its amount in addition de-
pending on the relevant operating
state (during braking or rever-
sing). Therefore, simple pressure
measurements by means of pres-
sure gauges are not adequate for
more thorough troubleshooting.
3
The measuring points TB, RBG and RBK are each pressurized with the higher ope- 4FFDIBQUFS
rating or converter pressure.
Exceptions: The RBK pressure is set to
1. approx. 2.5 bar for converter pressure reduction WDA,
2. max. approx. 2 bar for braking in 1st gear range (chapters 5.4 and 5.6).
Danger! Connect pressure gauge, or change measuring cover, only with the en-
gine stopped, otherwise hot oil may result in scalding!

If the measuring points mentioned
are not accessible, the operating
pressure can also be measured for
DIWA.3 transmissions at the inter- POMZGPS%*8"
mediate flange (if installed) of the oil
filter:
If the pressure is measured before
(4/1) or after (4/2) the filter, approx.
0.5 bar must be added as flow resi-
stance to obtain the value for the
operating pressure.
Note! Only measure before the fil-
4 ter if the filter element is clean!
The working pressure can be set at TFF3FQBJS.BOVBM

the threaded pin of the operating
pressure valve (5/1) - only possible
with special screwdriver and socket
wrench through the oil filler!
If the required operating pressure is
not reached, check piping for leaka-
ge and sealing gaps of the gear
pump.
8.2 Converter pressure
The converter pressure must be:

pW ≥ 2 bar at an oil temperature toil of approx. 80 - 90 °C (= 176 - 194 °F), with forward
gear engaged, engine at idle speed (500 ± 50 rpm) and parking brake applied.
If this value is not reached, converter sealing must be improved. $VTU4FSW-FUUFSOP

9.1 Engine idle speed
In particular in conjunction with electronic engine control units, it is frequently not pos-
sible to set the idle speed n in a simple manner. In addition, the settings are system-
dependent (guideline: n ≥ approx. 500 - 600 rpm with warm engine). On the other
hand, the idle speed must not be too high, because the input clutch, for example, will
not close: n ≤ 850 rpm (for gas engine: n ≤ 1000 rpm). %JBHOPTUJDTGVODUJPO*
During a function check, the speed can be measured by means of the diagnostic pro-
gram, for example.
Note! If the idle speed must be changed, contact the bus manufacturer, if requi-
red.
9.2 Test: load transmitter signals as function of accelerator pe-

dal position
The life of DIWA transmissions to a considerable extent depends on proper pressures

in front of the disk clutches and brakes during shifting. Along with the input and output
speeds, the motor torque is important, which to a great extent is in turn affected by
the accelerator pedal position resp. the appropriate load levels L0 - L6 (or L0 - L7).
The associated electronic signals are provided to the transmission in a different man- 4FF5FDIOJDBM.BOVBMT
ner dependent on the engine control system. DIBQUFSJOUFSGBDFT
The following settings can be checked in a relatively simple manner with the bus stop-
ped by means of the diagnostic program: %JBHOPTUJDTGVODUJPO&
1. Load level L0 = "idle", accelerator pedal completely released.
2. Load level L6 = "full load", accelerator depressed to the stop (first, if any). Depend-
ent on the bus design, this accelerator pedal position may also be defined as L7 =
"kickdown", which is indicated by the diagnostic system.
3. Inf installed: load level L7 = "kickdown", accelerator pedal depressed beyond the
first and to the end stop against greater resistance.
4. Gradually depress the accelerator pedal from idle to full load and check that the %JBHOPTUJDTGVODUJPO*
"partial load" signals L2 to L5 are also displayed by the diagnostic system.
Note! For an accurate check of the load transmitter partial load signals as func-
tion of the accelerator pedal travel, documents from the bus manufacturer are
required.
Danger! When settings are made with the bus stopped, apply the parking brake
to prevent unintended rolling of the vehicle!
If the diagnostic system indicates load levels that do not correspond to the accelerator
pedal position, the following causes for faults may exist, apart from cable and connec-
tor defects:
1. Setting of accelerator pedal stops (idle, full load, kickdown, if installed).
2. With a VDO or Voith load transmitter: connection between load transmitter and in-
jection pump, see figures 7 and 8 on next page.
3. With electronic engine control units: connection between accelerator pedal and
load transmitter (setpoint switch), see figure 9 on next page.
4. Wrong control unit with data of the wrong load transmitter type (indicated by dia- %JBHOPTUJDTGVODUJPO"
gnostic system).

If the injection pump lever the load transmitter lever must

If the injection pump lever the load transmitter lever must

is in full load position be on the full load mark too!
Otherwise, move the fastening with the link accordingly.
Then recheck the setting in 0 load position!
Note! the adjustment angles of the levers of injection pump and load transmit-
ter must be in proportion to each other! For example, if the injection pump lever
is moved by 1/3 of the angle between 0 and full load, the load transmitter lever
must also be move by 1/3 of its angle between 0 and full load!
Example for load transmitter adjustment

with electronic engine control unit

9.3 Test: rated engine torque as function of load stage or engine
speed
It may be necessary to determine the maximum possible engine torques in bus ope-
ration. Indirectly, they can be determined in a relatively simple manner by speed
measurements in the so-called stall point - e.g. by means of the diagnostic program. %JBHOPTUJDTGVODUJPO*
First of all pay attention:

Danger! Apply parking brake to prevent unintentional bus movement!
After that as example for full load operation (= load level L6):
1. engage forward gear,
2. depress accelerator pedal to the full load stop,
3. enter the measured engine speed N1 (= stall speed) in the diagram below
(figure 10). The intersection with the appropriate pump characteristic of the trans-
mission - for pump design, check the transmission nameplate, for example -
shows the maximum possible engine torque with the bus stopped.
Note! The latter torque may deviate significantly from the maximum possible
engine torque while driving with electronic engine control units. These tests
are performed during acceptance protocol measurements. "QQMJDBUJPO

1. GENERAL
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
- Do not use high pressure when lubricating the

lubrication points. The grease gun must be
used evenly and smoothly.
- The drive shaft’s slip joint must not be cleaned
using a high pressure hose or steam. If in
doubt, the drive shaft should be lubricated after
it has been cleaned.
- If no grease appears to escape from one or
more bearings when lubricating the lubrication
points, then the relevant spider must be 3
replaced together with the bearings.
- The drive flanges on a new drive shaft have a
protective coating. If this coating does not have
any dirt on it, then it does not have to be
removed before assembly.
- The drive flanges should be free of dirt before
assembly.
- Only use a lubricant that satisfies the
specifications given. Do not use any lubricant
that contains Mos2.
- During anti-corrosion treatment, the slip joint
must be completely covered.

1.2 SERVICE
The drive shaft should be inspected according to

the intervals below.
Service intervals:
- There should be a small service every 50,000
km or every six months.
- There should be a large service every 200,000
km or every two years.
1.2.1 Small service

1. Inspect all the joints. Where necessary,
retighten the nuts and bolts using a torque
spanner.
2. Check whether all the circlips are still in place 1. Drive shaft
and are fitted correctly. 2. Yoke
3. Balance plate
3. Check whether the bearing/coupling 4. Welded-up clamps (G.W.B.)
components show signs of heating (discolou- 5. Slip joint
ring of the material or burnt sealing rings). 6. Drive shaft
4. Check the O-rings on the bearing bushes and

the slip joint visually and by seeing how much
lubricant has been used.
5. Check whether the grease nipples are still

present. Check their condition.
6. Check the visible plastic guide coating on the

slip joint for damage.
7. Check the drive shaft for rust, distortion and

other damage.
8. If there is excessive noise or vibrations when

driving at a certain speed, check the balance
plates on the drive shaft (unbalance).
9. Check whether any play can be felt or seen by

pulling the drive shaft and slip joint upwards.
If any faults are found when carrying out the points

above, the drive shaft should be replaced.

3 DRIVE SHAFTS
1.2.2 Large service

1. Carry out the inspection given for the “small
service”.
2. Remove the drive shaft (see “Drive shaft

removal and installation”).
3. Check the play on the universal joint bearings

by laying the drive shaft flat on a table. Next,
put one hand on the pipe of the drive shaft axle
and, with the other hand, rotate the drive
flange. No play must be felt. Do this for both
3
sides. Bear in mind that the slip joint can
extend out a bit. If play can be felt, the spider
and the bearings must be replaced (see
“Spider removal and installation”).
4. By hand, check the movement of the drive

flanges. It must be possible to turn the drive
flanges in a horizontal and vertical direction
without any resistance (jarring) being felt.
The drive flanges must not drop by themselves.
If resistance can be felt, then the bearings
must first be lubricated. If this does not have
any effect, then the bearings and the spider
must be replaced (see “Spider removal and
installation”).
5. Clean all the grease nipples and lubricate all

the points.
Use a suitable lubricant (see

“Technical information”).
MoS2 grease must not be used.
Check whether lubricant escapes from all the

universal joint’s bearings. If this does not
happen, then one or more of the bearings are
faulty. Replace the relevant spider and its
bearings (see “Spider removal and
installation”).

6. Check the slip joint’s radial and tangential

play.
0,17 mm
0,2 mm
- Check for tangential play (play between the
teeth).
a. Secure the slip joint’s fixed pipe in a
workbench with the yoke in a vertical direction.
b. Place a suitable gauge indicator on a flat part
and allow the measuring pin to rest against the
side of the yoke. Zero the gauge.
c. Turn the yoke tangentially and measure the
play on the splines. This must not be greater
3
than 0.2 mm.
02381B
7. Check the slip joint’s radial play.

a. Pull the slip joint out about 45 mm.
b. Lay the drive shaft on a flat table with the fixed
yokes touching the table.
c. Place a suitable gauge indicator with a
magnetic foot just behind the weld on the drive
shaft’s pipe.
d. Put the measuring pin just behind the weld on
the yoke and zero the gauge.
e. Lift the drive shaft up a little bit in the middle
whilst making sure that the yokes remain
touching the table.
f. Check the play. It must not be greater than
0.17 mm.
The drive shaft must be replaced completely if the

radial or tangential play is too large.

3 DRIVE SHAFTS
8. Check the slip joint’s splines.

- Remove the grease nipple.
- Mark the position of both parts of the slip joint
in relation to each other.
- Carefully pull the slip joint apart.
- Check the innermost and outermost splines for
damage, signs of heating and wear.
Check the O-ring for damage.
If there are any faults, replace the O-ring or the
complete drive shaft.
- If there is no damage, lubricate the O-ring and
slip joint and push them together (beware of
3
the alignment!). Fit the grease nipple and
lubricate the slip joint.
Use a suitable lubricant (see

2. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
2.1 REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE DRIVE

SHAFT ASSEMBLY
When removing the drive shaft,

make sure that you do not put
yourself or others in danger. The
drive shaft has components that
could trap body parts.
Always move and store the drive

shaft in a horizontal position.
This will prevent damage which 3
would make the drive shaft
become unbalanced.
Only use original bolts that are of

the correct type.
Removal
1. Support the shaft in at least two places.
2. Remove the fixing bolts from the flanges. If

necessary, push the drive shaft’s slip joint
inwards a bit, so that the drive shaft can easily
be reached between the rear axle and the gear
box.
3. Remove the drive shaft from underneath the

vehicle.
The drive shaft must always be moved and

stored in a horizontal position.
4. When repairs have been carried out, or another

drive shaft has been fitted, the yokes must be
in line and all the universal joints must be
lubricated.
Installation
1. Fit the drive shaft in the reverse order to its
removal.
Tighten all the bolts to the required torque (see
0145 2-1

2.2 DRIVE FLANGE
If a flange must be removed that is directly attached

to a spider, see the instructions in 2.3.
If a flange must be removed that is directly attached

to the gear box or rear axle, see the instructions for
the removal and installation of the drive flange for
the relevant gear box or rear axle.
It must be possible to move the flanges on the

spiders by hand after assembly. They must not fall
3
down by themselves.

2.3 SPIDER
Removal
1. Remove the complete drive shaft.
See “Drive shaft removal and installation”.
2. Place the drive shaft on a strong, flat table

using a bench vice.
3. Remove all the circlips and grease nipples and

throw them away.
3
4. Mark both parts of the slip joint so that they
can be put back in the correct way during
assembly.
5. Put the shaft on a bush under a press as

shown (the inner diameter of the bush must be
greater than the diameter of the bearing bush).
Push the spider downwards, together with the
bearings and flange, using a suitable punch
until the spider touches the axle’s yoke.
6. Remove the drive shaft from under the press

and clamp the part of the bearing bush that
has been pushed out in a bench vice.
7. Work the yoke upwards using a tyre lever. This

will make the bearing bush come completely
loose so that it can be removed.
0145 2-3
DRIVE SHAFTS 3
8. Turn the shaft through 180°. Put the shaft back

onto the bush.
9. Push the spider downwards again in the

direction of the shaft’s yoke until the spider
touches the yoke.
10. The spider and the flange can be tilted out of

shaft’s yoke.
11. Clamp the partly pushed out bearing bush in a

bench vice.
12. Work the yoke upwards using a tyre lever. This

will make the bearing bush come completely
loose so that it can be removed.
13. Repeat points 5 to 12 to remove the flange

from the spider.
14. Check the components that will be reused for

cracks and damage.
Always replace the spider together

with the bearings.

Installation
1. Remove the spider, bearing bush and oil
retainer rings from the repair kit.
Apply a thin layer of grease to the bearings so
that the needles remain in place.
2. Press one bearing partly into the yoke.
3. Fit the retaining rings to the spider with a bit of

grease.
4. Tilt the spider into the yoke so that the hole A
3
(for the grease nipple) points towards the shaft.
5. Slide the spider a little bit into the bearing

which has already been fitted. Place the whole
thing on a bush under a press.
The opposite bearing can now be pressed into
the yoke using the spider as a guide. The
spider must be able to move freely whilst
pressing.
6. Continue pressing the bearing in until the

circlip can be fitted on the side that is being
pressed. Fit the circlip.
0145 2-5
DRIVE SHAFTS 3
Next, press the opposite bearing further into

the yoke and fit the circlip.
7. Repeat points 1 to 6 to fit the flange and the

spider into the shaft’s yoke.
8. Fit the grease nipple(s).

Lubricate all the lubrication points using the
correct grease (see “Technical information”)
until grease escapes from all the bearings.
9. Fit the drive shaft.
