1. Transmission - Housing (1)
2. Shim S2
- Note thickness
3. Right Tapered Roller Bearing Outer Race (1)
- Left and right tapered roller bearings are identical (not for transmission without polygon bearing), Application and ID
- Driving out for transmission with polygon bearing, Fig. 1 Remove Right Bearing Outer Race W/Polygon Bearing
- Driving out for transmission without polygon bearing, Fig. 2 Remove Right Bearing Outer Race W/O Polygon Bearing
- Driving in for transmission with polygon bearing, Fig. 3 Install Right Bearing Outer Race In Transmission Housing
- Driving in for transmission without polygon bearing using VW295 needle bearing drift and 30-205 thrust pad
4. Right Tapered Roller Bearing Inner Race (1)

- Pressing on for transmission without polygon bearing using 40-21 sleeve
5. Ring Gear (1)
- Is matched to pinion shaft (gear set)
- Allocate according to transmission code letters using parts supplier.
- Remove from transmission housing using drift, Fig. 10 Driving Out Ring Gear From Housing
- Installing on differential housing, Fig. 11 Installing Ring Gear
6. Differential Housing (1)
- Allocate according to transmission code letters using parts supplier.
7. Bolt
- Always replace
- Tighten to 60 Nm (44 ft. lbs.) and then tighten another 45°
- Lightly tighten bolts then tighten diagonally to correct torque
8. Left Tapered Roller Bearing Inner Race (1)
