To ensure flawless and successful gearbox repairs, the greatest

spec
care and cleanliness as well as the use of good and proper tools
es, in part or in w

are essential. Of course, the basic rules for safety also apply dur‐

t to the co
ing repair work.
A number of general notes on the individual repair procedures,

which can otherwise be found in the relevant sections of the man‐
ual, are summarised here. They apply for this particular workshop

clean the contact surfaces. Contact surfaces must be free of
wax and grease.
♦ Allocate bolts and other components using ⇒ Electronic parts

♦ When exchanging a manual gearbox, fill with gear oil to lower
edge of filler hole ⇒ page 78 .
♦ Capacities and specifications ⇒ page 1 .
Gaskets and seals
After removing gaskets and seals, always inspect contact surfa‐
ces of housing and shaft for burrs resulting from removal or for
other signs of damage.
♦ Before installing radial oil seals, half-fill space between sealing
lips with sealing grease -arrow-.
♦ For grease allocation, refer to ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue
(ETKA) .
♦ Lightly oil O-rings before installing; this prevents the rings be‐
ing crushed when inserted.
Sealant
♦ For allocation of sealant , refer to ⇒ Electronic Parts Catalogue
(ETKA) .
♦ Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before applying seal‐
ant .
♦ Apply sealant uniformly and not too thickly.
♦ Breather holes must remain free of sealant .
