♦ The torque of the engine is transmitted via the flywheel to the

t to the co
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.

rrectness of i
♦ The gearbox is structured like a manual gearbox. Through op‐
posed hydraulic actuation of the dual clutch, it is operated like
l purpos

an automatic gearbox. In other words, the gears are engaged


automatically or manually via the Tiptronic system. There is no

cally via the selector lever cable.
Gear change point variations for gradients
An additional gear change map automatically selects gear
changes for gradients dependent upon accelerator pedal position
and driving speed.
• Gear change map for extreme uphill stretches is matched to
engine output.
• Gear change map for extreme downhill stretches is matched
to the braking effect of the engine.
• If a gear is selected directly via the Tiptronic system, it is also
possible to use the braking effect of the engine in a specific
gear, e.g. when driving down a slope with a trailer attached.

3.2 Rules for cleanliness


♦ First thoroughly clean connecting points and surrounding
areas and then loosen bolts.
♦ Seal open lines and connections immediately using clean
plugs or sealing caps from engine bung set - VAS 6122- .
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them to
prevent them from getting dirty. Use sheeting and paper for
this purpose. Use lint-free cloths only.
♦ Make sure that no dirt can enter an »open« gearbox.
♦ Install only clean parts; do not remove Genuine parts from
packaging until immediately before installing.

♦ If repair work cannot be performed immediately, cover opened


parts carefully.
♦ Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and water,
and only reconnect them in dry condition.

3.3 General repair instructions


To ensure flawless and successful gearbox repairs, the greatest
care and cleanliness as well as the use of good and proper tools
are essential. Also note the basic rules on safety when performing
repair procedures.
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
manual.
Guided fault-finding, vehicle self-diagnosis and test instruments
♦ Before performing repairs to the gearbox, determine the cause
of the fault as accurately as possible ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic
tester, Guided Fault Finding , Vehicle Self-Diagnosis
or Test Instruments .
Special tool
For a complete list of special tools used in this workshop manual,
see ⇒ "Workshop equipment and special tools" .
Gearbox
Always make sure that no dirt can enter an »open« gearbox. In
particular, dirt entering an »exposed« mechatronic unit for dual
clutch gearbox - J743- and/or oil pump can lead to gearbox failure.
♦ If gearbox covers have been unbolted or gearbox has no fluid,

Caution

♦ The drive plate has to remain engaged between the teeth


of the outer plate carrier.
♦ If the drive plate detaches, the plates in the dual clutch can
shift. It may then not be possible to adjust the clutch cor‐
rectly when it is installed.
♦ Do not lift (not even slightly) or remove plate carrier! The
plates could turn.

Brief description
• To remove or install the clutch, the gearbox must be securely
attached to an assembly stand in vertical position.
• The large plate carrier goes through all plates inside the clutch.
It must not slip out of the lowest plate.

– Install new retaining ring -arrow A- and new O-ring -arrow B-
on right stub shaft.
– Insert bevel box and press against gearbox as far as it will go.

Note

Turn stub shaft if spline position is unfavourable (bevel box cannot


be pressed to stop against gearbox).

– If splines are correctly positioned and shafts are centred, then


bevel box will slide to stop against gearbox.

Caution

To ensure that the retaining ring of the stub shaft engages


properly in the differential bevel gear, strike the face of the
spline stub with a plastic hammer. Do not pull bevel box force‐
fully against gearbox by turning securing bolts. Damage to
gearbox or bevel box could result.
