Removing transmission

Dismantling





1. Remove the cross member





2. Dismantle the coolant hoses and container





3. Disconnect the electrical connection for the reversing light switch.





4. Remove the electric cable (positive lead). Do this by removing the container from the transmission -arrows- and disconnecting the lead in the B-Plus box -1-.





5. Disconnect shift -1 -and selection cables -2-from the transmission.





Note: Protect drive shafts against mechanical damage (e.g. with a rubber hose which has been cut open).

6. Remove drive shafts on transmission side. To do this, unscrew the six Allen screws joining each drive shaft and transmission flange. In order to stop the wheel being pulled round, it should be held still.





7. Disconnect hydraulic line for clutch control. Collect emerging brake fluid in a suitable container. Seal open lines with suitable plug.

1. Unscrew fastening screws between stabilizer and engine mount, screw holding device P 9624/2 to stabilizer-engine mount, turn spindle upwards and support engine.
2. Place transmission jack under transmission and fasten fixing strap.





3. Remove transmission container.





4. Remove transmission support.





Note: The transmission can be lowered by a maximum of 25 mm to improve accessibility.

5. Unscrew fastening screws (8) between engine and transmission.
6. Move the transmission out downwards and towards the front by lowering the transmission jack step by step.
