Gear oil
The “0GC” dual clutch gearbox only has one oil system.
The oil system lubricates the gears, shafts, final drives, clutches
and mechatronic unit for dual clutch gearbox - J743- .
Only use gear oil in accordance with ⇒ Electronic parts cata‐
logue .
Gear oil filter change - »Yes or no?«
• The gear oil filter does not have to be changed as a matter of
course.
Do not change the filter if:
♦ The gear oil cooler or its O-rings were renewed and no coolant
has got into the oil.

Determining shim for dual clutch:


• The retaining pin - T10524- remains installed!

– Temporarily install “old” retaining ring -arrow-.


Before this ring is finally disposed of, 3 measurements must be
made.
First measurement (axial play of shaft)
– Screw universal dial gauge - VW 387- to gearbox flange.

– Set -dial gauge- to 0 with preload.

– Lift dual clutch with force -in direction of arrow- to stop using
hooks - 3438- and note measurement.

This value will be needed later for the check measurement so


save value “A” until the last measurement has been performed.

Value “B” minus value “A” minus 0.11 = thickness of shim to
be fitted.
– Note result.
The shims are sized in 0.05 mm increments.
– Measure the shims and determine which one is closest to the

AG.

Note

If the needle bearing in the crankshaft is damaged, the gears


cannot be selected properly any more because the clutch is sup‐
ported on this bearing.

– Lightly grease journal and splines on gearbox.

– If there are no dowel sleeves -A- in the cylinder block for cen‐
tring the engine and gearbox, insert new dowel sleeves.
• Missing dowel sleeves result in misalignment of the axes of
engine and gearbox, leading to destruction of the needle bear‐
ing in the crankshaft.
– Check for proper seating of intermediate plate.
It must be possible to guide the engine and gearbox together by
hand until the engine flange and gearbox flange make contact all
around.
– If necessary, readjust gearbox support until engine and gear‐
box are »aligned with each other«.
– Turn crankshaft slightly if necessary.
Pay attention to selector lever cable when installing.
– Tighten gearbox to engine.
