3.1 General information


Gearbox
♦ The torque of the engine is transmitted via the flywheel to the
dual clutch gearbox. The flywheel and the dual clutch are
joined together by a toothed connection. Together they take
on the function of the dual-mass flywheel.
♦ The gearbox is structured like a 7-speed manual gearbox.
Through opposed hydraulic actuation of two multi-plate dry
clutches, it is operated like an automatic gearbox. In other
words, the gears are engaged automatically or manually via
the Tiptronic system. There is no clutch pedal.
♦ When the ignition is switched off, both clutches are disengag‐
ed.

Requirement
• Dual clutch removed ⇒ page 29 .
• The gearbox flange must be level to assure good contact with
the ruler.
• Mechatronic unit for dual clutch gearbox - J743- built into
gearbox.

Caution

Risk of damage to clutch and other components!


• Retainer for engaging lever and entire mechanism of en‐
gagement bearing must be dry and free of oil or grease.

Removing and installing ball pin


– Use pliers to remove ball-head pin.

– Push in »new« ball pin by hand, if necessary using a plastic


hammer and drift to tap it in.

Note

To avoid damage to ball pin, only tap the drift lightly with the plastic
head hammer.

Continued for all:

Note

If dimension “B” has already been determined, it is now possible


to proceed with step “2” of the measurement ⇒ page 20

– Install previously used retaining ring -arrow- of outer input


shaft.

Step 1: Determine dimension “B” for clutch “K 1” and “K 2”

Note

Do not measure on retaining ring joint. The retaining ring could


be pushed away and falsify the reading.

• Example: dimension “B2” = 2.58 mm


– Calculate mean value from dimension “B1” and “B2”.
Formula: B1 + B2 2
Example:

– Hold upper section of guide sleeve with one hand. With the
other hand turn the lower section of guide sleeve in direction
of arrow until the sleeve moves freely.

Note

Apply high force to hold both sections, as this is necessary for


turning the lower section of the guide sleeve.

If the engaging lever is in installation position, the holes of the


lower section of guide sleeve are at right angles to the engaging
lever. The sleeve moves freely.

Sometimes, the mechatronic unit cannot be removed. In this


case, »sticking« of the gear actuator for 6th/ reverse occurs at
»top left« of gearbox housing -arrow-.
The »sticking« gear actuator must now be pressed by hand into
a »removal position«. To do this remove the cover on the selector
shaft.
– Reinsert mechatronic unit completely into gearbox and secure
it with a bolt.
– Switch selector lever to “P” position.

The starter must not operate in the selector lever positions “R”,
“D” and “S” and in the Tiptronic position.
On right-hand drive vehicles, the starter must operate in selector
lever positions “P” and “N” only when the push-button in the se‐
lector lever handle is not pressed.
Above 5 km/h:
When the selector lever is shifted to “N”, the selector lever lock
solenoid must not lock the selector lever. Selector lever can be
shifted back into a driving range.
Below 5 km/h:
When the selector lever is shifted to “N”, the selector lever lock
solenoid must lock the selector lever only after approx. 1 second.
Selector lever cannot be shifted out of “N” position until brake
pedal is depressed.
Selector lever in “P” position and ignition switched on

• Brake pedal not depressed:


Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of “P” position
when the push-button is pressed. Solenoid for selector lever lock
blocks selector lever.

WARNING

The parking lock must be engaged.

– To do this, turn both front wheels simultaneously »under the


car« in the same direction until the parking lock can be heard
to engage.
• The parking lock is engaged when both front wheels cannot
be turned in the same direction at the same time.
– Gently push knob of selector lever forwards and backwards
but under no circumstances must you shift out of “P”.
In this way the inner cable of the Bowden cable finds it optimal
position.
– Tighten adjuster screw -arrow-. Specified torque: ⇒ page 72
This completes the adjustment.

7-speed dual clutch gearbox 0CW - Edition 05.2019

Seal gearbox so that no oil can escape.

Caution

Risk of damage to gearbox.


Before repairs, the breather of the mechatronic unit for dual
clutch gearbox - J743- (-rear arrow-) and the gearbox breather
(-front left arrow-) must be sealed so that no oil can escape.
♦ If any oil escapes from the hydraulic fluid section of the
mechatronic unit for dual clutch gearbox - J743- , it is not
possible to check the fill level! The fill level can only be set
correctly by changing the hydraulic fluid.
♦ If oil escapes from the gear oil section, it can only be rec‐
tified by changing the gear oil. It is not possible to check
the fill level.
♦ If the level of oil/fluid is too high or too low in either of the
parts, the function of the gearbox will be impaired.

– Pull off both breather caps -arrows-.

Note

♦ The breather cap on the mechatronic unit is destroyed during


removal and must be renewed.
♦ As an alternative to the engine bung set - VAS 6122- the seal‐
