Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

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.
4.1Contact corrosion
♦ The housing of the manual gearbox in the Audi TT is made of
a magnesium alloy.
♦ Bolts and other components which are in direct contact with
the gearbox casing are surface treated for compatibility with
magnesium.
♦ If the incorrect components are used (bolts, nuts, washers
etc.), this will cause contact corrosion. The gearbox housing
will be damaged.
♦ If you are not sure whether used parts can be re-installed, al‐
ways fit new parts.
Audi TT 1999 ➤
Caution
♦ Only use Genuine Audi parts.
♦ Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered
by the warranty.
4.2Special tools
For a complete list of special tools used in this Workshop Manual
⇒ Special tools, Workshop equipment .
4.3Components
Gearbox
♦ When installing, ensure that the dowel sleeves between the
engine and gearbox are correctly located.
♦ When assembling mounting brackets as well as other waxed
components, the contact surfaces must be cleaned. The con‐
tact surfaces must be free of wax and grease.
♦ When installing a new gearbox or bevel box fill with gear oil.
♦ Capacities and specifications ⇒ page 2 .
O-rings, oil seals, gaskets
♦ Always install new 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.
Protected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not
permitted unless authorised by AUDI AG. AUDI AG does not guarantee or accept any liability
with respect to the correctness of information in this document. Copyright by AUDI AG.
♦ Lightly oil the outer circumference of oil seals and fill the space
between the sealing lips -arrow- about 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 sealing lip does not contact the shaft in the same place
as the old seal (make use of insertion depth tolerances).
After installation:
♦ Check gear oil level in manual gearbox with bevel box
⇒ page 115 .

♦ 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
♦ Nuts and bolts for securing covers and housings must be
slackened and tightened in diagonal sequence.
♦ Parts which are particularly sensitive (e.g. clutch pressure
plates) must be kept straight. Slacken and tighten them in
stages and in diagonal sequence.
♦ The tightening torques stated apply to non-oiled nuts and
bolts.
♦ Always renew self-locking bolts and nuts.
♦ For all threaded connections, ensure that (where applicable)
the contact surfaces and the nuts and bolts are not coated with
wax until after assembly is completed.
Bearings
♦ Install new tapered roller bearings as supplied; do not lubricate
additionally with oil.
♦ Lubricate all bearings (except tapered roller bearings) with
gear oil before installing in gearbox.
♦ Always renew the tapered roller bearings on one shaft togeth‐
er as a set and use new bearings from a single manufacturer.
♦ Heat inner races of tapered roller bearings to approx. 100°C
before installing. Press in 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).
♦ Install needle bearings so the lettering (side with thicker metal)
faces towards the installing tool.
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.
Synchroniser rings
♦ Do not interchange. When reusing synchroniser rings, always
fit to the same gear wheel.
♦ Check for wear; renew if necessary.
♦ Lubricate with gear oil before installing.
Gear wheels
♦ Before installing, clean and heat on a hotplate to approx. 100°
C.
♦ The temperature can be checked with Temperature tester -
V.A.G 1558- .

♦ After installing, check 1st to 6th speed selector gears for min‐
imal axial play and freedom of movement.
Clutch actuation
♦ Ensure that the pressure plate is kept straight: loosen and
tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence and in several gradual
stages.
♦ 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
♦
Apply polycarbamidegrease -
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.

-arrow-.
Note
Ensure that bleed hose is correctly fitted during bleeding opera‐
tion.
– Open bleeder valve -arrow-.
– Switch on bleeding equipment.
•Operating pressure 2.0 bar
–
Bleed off about 100 cm3 of brake fluid.
– Close bleeder valve.
– Rapidly operate clutch pedal from stop to stop 15 times.
–
Bleed off an additional 50 cm3 of brake fluid.
– Close bleeder valve. Tightening torque 4.5 Nm.
– Depress clutch pedal several times after bleeding process is
completed.
– Bleed system once again if necessary.
– Remove bleed hose and fit protective cap.
– Remove brake charge and bleed equipment -VAS 5234- from
brake fluid reservoir.

Select the correct clutch plate and pressure plate according to
engine code: ⇒ Parts catalogue .
♦
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.
♦
Clean input shaft splines and (in the case of a used clutch
plate) the hub splines. Remove corrosion and apply only a very
thin coating of grease for clutch plate splines -G 000 100- to
the splines. Then move clutch plate backwards and forwards
on input shaft until hub moves freely on shaft. It is important
to remove excess grease.
♦
Pressure plates have an anti-corrosion coating and are
greased. Only the contact surface may be cleaned, otherwise
the service life of the clutch will be considerably reduced.
♦
Pressure plate contact surface and clutch plate lining must
make full contact with flywheel. Only then insert bolts.
– Note correct installation position of clutch plate:
•The marking “Getriebeseite” or “Getr.-Seite” (gearbox side)
-arrow- faces pressure plate and gearbox.
– Reverse position of counter-hold tool -3067- when installing.
– Use centring mandrel -3190 A- to centralise clutch plate.

To prevent the pressure plate from becoming distorted during in‐
stallation (causes clutch grab when driving off), always adhere to
the following procedure when installing the pressure plate:
– Fit pressure plate onto dowel pins.
– Screw in all 6 bolts evenly by hand until bolt heads make con‐
tact with pressure plate.
– Working clockwise, tighten all six bolts consecutively in steps
of 90° (1/4 turn) until the housing makes contact with the fly‐
wheel.
– Working clockwise, tighten all 6 bolts to final torque consecu‐
tively.
