Driven gear ZG2 = 31 ZA2 = 63
i = Z2 : Z1

iG = gear ratio = ZG2 : ZG1 = 31 : 37 = 0.838
iA = axle ratio = ZA2 : ZA1 = 63 : 16 = 3.938
iov = overall ratio
iov = iG x iA = 0.838 x 3.938 = 3.299

4 General repair instructions

Proper tools and the maximum possible care and cleanliness are essential for satisfactory gearbox repairs. The usual basic safety precautions also naturally apply when carrying out repair work.
A number of generally applicable instructions for the various re‐ pair procedures - which were previously repeated at numerous places in the Workshop Manual - are summarised here. They ap‐ ply to the work described in this Manual.
Special tools
For a complete list of special tools used in this Workshop Manual ⇒ Workshop equipment and special tools catalogue .
Gearbox
♦ When installing, ensure that the dowel sleeves between the
engine and gearbox are correctly located.
♦ When installing a new gearbox, check the oil level and fill up
with oil if necessary ⇒ page 82 .
♦ Capacity ⇒ page 1 .
Audi TT 1999 ➤
Note
If the oil level is topped up with the gearbox installed, check oil level as follows:
Fill with oil to bottom lip of filler hole and refit screw plug. Start engine, engage a gear and allow gearbox to turn for approx. 2 minutes. Switch off engine and again top up oil to bottom lip of filler hole.
Sealants
♦ Thoroughly clean joint surfaces on gearbox housing etc. be‐
fore applying sealant .
♦ Apply sealant -AMV 188 200 03- evenly and not too thickly.
O-rings, oil seals and gaskets
♦ Always renew O-rings, oil seals and gaskets.
♦ After removing gaskets and seals, always inspect the contact
surface on the housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal or for other signs of damage.
♦ Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before assembling.
♦ Before installing oil seals, lightly oil the outer circumference of
the seal and fill the space between the sealing lips -arrow­about half full with grease -G 052 128 A1- .
♦ The open side of the oil seals faces toward the side with fluid
filling.
♦ When installing a new oil seal, position the seal in the housing
so that the sealing lip does not contact the shaft in the same place as the old seal (make use of insertion depth tolerances).
♦ Lightly lubricate O-rings before installation to prevent them
from being trapped and damaged during assembly.
♦ After renewing seals and gaskets, check and, if necessary, top
up oil level in gearbox ⇒ page 82 .

Audi TT 1999 ➤ 5-speed manual gearbox 02J - Edition 10.2007
♦ Do not over-stretch circlips.
♦ Always renew circlips which have been damaged or over-
stretched.
♦ Circlips must be properly seated in the base of the groove.
♦ Renew spring pins. Position: the slit -A- should be in line with
the line of force -arrow-.
Nuts, bolts
♦ Loosen the nuts and bolts in reverse sequence to the specified
tightening sequence.
♦ Nuts and bolts which secure covers and housings should be
loosened and tightened in diagonal sequence and in stages if no tightening sequence is specified.
♦ Especially delicate parts, such as clutch pressure plates, must
not be distorted. Loosen and tighten bolts and nuts in stages in diagonal sequence.
♦ The tightening torques stated apply to non-oiled nuts and
bolts.
♦ Always renew self-locking bolts and nuts.
♦ Use a wire brush to clean the threads of bolts which are se‐
cured with locking fluid. Then apply locking fluid ­AMV 185 101 A1- to bolt threads before installing.
♦ Threaded holes which take self-locking bolts or bolts coated
with locking fluid must be cleaned (using a tap or similar). Oth‐ erwise there is a danger of the bolts shearing off the next time they are removed.
Bearings
♦ Install needle bearings so the lettering (side with thicker metal)
faces towards the installing tool.
♦ Install new tapered roller bearings as supplied; do not lubricate
additionally with oil.
♦ Lubricate all bearings (except new tapered roller bearings)
with gear oil before installing in gearbox.
♦ Always renew the tapered roller bearings on one shaft togeth‐
er and use new bearings from a single manufacturer.
♦ Use inductive heater -VAS 6414- to heat inner races to approx.
100°C before installing. Press home onto stop when installing so there is no axial clearance.
♦ Do not interchange the outer or inner races of bearings of the
same size (the bearings are paired).
Shims
♦ Measure shims at several points with a micrometer. Tolerance
variations make it possible to obtain the exact shim thickness required.
♦ Check for burrs and damage.
♦ Install only shims which are in perfect condition.
Synchro-rings

♦ Do not interchange. When re-using synchro-rings, always fit
to the same gear wheel.
♦ Check for wear; renew if necessary.
♦ Check the grooves -arrow 1- on synchro-ring -A- and on inner
ring for wear (flattened sections in grooves).
♦ Make sure that the coating of coated synchro-rings is not dam‐
aged.
♦ If an intermediate ring -B- is fitted, check the outer contact
surface -arrow 2- and inner contact surface -arrow 3- of the intermediate ring for scoring and visible traces of wear.
♦ Check chamfer on selector gear for scoring and visible traces
of wear.
♦ Lubricate synchroniser rings with gear oil before installing.
Gear wheels
♦ Note correct installation position.
♦ Before installing, clean and heat to 100°C (maximum) using
inductive heater -VAS 6414- .
Selector gears
♦ After installing, check 1st to 5th selector gears for minimal axial
play and freedom of movement.
Clutch actuation
♦ When removing gearbox, remove clutch slave cylinder without
disconnecting pipes.
♦ Do not depress the clutch pedal after removing the slave cyl‐
inder if the hydraulic pipe is still connected. Otherwise, the piston will be pressed out of the slave cylinder and be de‐ stroyed.
♦ Ensure that the pressure plate is kept straight: loosen and
tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence and in several gradual stages.
♦ If the clutch pedal does not return to its initial position after
releasing it (clutch pedal in rest position), you must bleed the clutch system (further measures
⇒ “1.1 Checking hydraulic clutch mechanism”, page 11 ).
♦ If the clutch has burnt out, thoroughly clean the bell housing,
flywheel and parts of the engine facing the gearbox in order to prevent odours.

Note
Before renewing the master or slave cylinder on the assumption that it is defective you must first check the clutch mechanism
⇒ page 11 .
Disconnect battery earth strap.
Note radio coding for vehicles with coded radio.
Apply polycarbamide grease -G 052 142 A2- to all bearings and contact surfaces.
Make sure that no brake fluid es‐ capes into the footwell, the ple‐ num chamber or onto the gear‐ box below. If this does happen, clean the affected area thor‐ oughly.
When performing work in the footwell, put cloths on the carpet to protect it from possible brake fluid spills.

– First check brake fluid level in brake fluid reservoir.
Note
The clutch hydraulics are connected to one of the chambers
-arrow 2- of the brake fluid reservoir via the supply hose
-arrow 1-.
If this chamber is empty or contains too little brake fluid, the system may be leaking.
– Then check the following components of the hydraulic clutch
mechanism for external leaks:
♦ Supply hose between brake fluid reservoir and master cylinder
♦ Master cylinder
♦ Pipe/hose assembly between master cylinder and slave cyl‐
inder
♦ Connections (plug-in connectors and threaded connections),
including hidden connections
♦ Slave cylinder
Note
External leaks can be detected, for instance, by traces of brake fluid on or below the gearbox as well as on the noise insulation panel below the gearbox.
Check correct routing of pipe/hose assembly between master cylinder and slave cylinder. The pipe/hose assembly must not be kinked or become trapped.
– Then depress clutch pedal carefully; hold pedal in five different
positions for approx. 20 seconds at each position over its full travel. Have a 2nd person check the components of the hy‐ draulic clutch mechanism ⇒ page 12 for visible leaks. At the same time the 1st person should check whether the clutch pedal yields under the foot at any of the held positions.
– Finally, detach slave cylinder from gearbox (do not open pipe
connections) and check sleeve for traces of escaped brake fluid.
– Detach sleeve from plunger -arrow- to check for leaks.
