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

agen

The feedback for the gearbox concerning the selector lever po‐
sition is not transferred by mechanical means via the selector
lever cable and the multifunction switch (gear sensor) any more,
as is the case for the automatic gearbox. The information con‐
cerning selector lever positions or shifting operations are trans‐
ferred to the gearbox control unit via a separate control unit in the
selector mechanism and the CAN data bus. That is, gears are
shifted without any mechanical cables being involved. Only for
selector lever position “P” the parking lock is engaged mechani‐
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 gradients is matched
to the braking efficiency 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.

care and cleanliness as well as the use of good and proper tools

Dual clutch gearbox oil
The oil quality is of critical importance for the function of the gear‐
box.
Shake oil bottle before opening.
Do not mix additives in oil. Do not fill any other oil.
Oil which has been drained out cannot be filled again.

A plastic overflow pipe (with 8 mm hexagon socket head) is lo‐

3.4 Gaskets and seals


♦ Renew O-rings, seals and gaskets.
♦ After removing gaskets and seals, always inspect contact sur‐
face of housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal or for
other signs of damage.
♦ Before installing seals, lightly oil outer diameter and half-fill
space between sealing lips -arrow- with sealing grease -

♦ The open side of the oil seals faces toward the side with fluid
filling.
♦ Only use dual clutch gearbox oil. Other lubricants will cause
problems in function.
♦ Coat O-rings with dual clutch gearbox oil to prevent pinching
of rings during assembly.

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.

Installing
– Take great care when removing the dual clutch from its pack‐
age.
– Turn piston rings by hand. They must move freely and must
not bind.

– Ensure that piston rings -1-, -2-, -3- and -4- are seated cor‐
rectly. The ring butts -arrows- of piston rings -1- and -3- should
align.
– The ring butts -arrows- of piston rings -2- and -4- should align
and be offset 180° to the ring butts of piston rings -1- and -3-.

Important! Position of drive plate


– Before installing, check if there is a marking -arrow- on dual
clutch.
– If there is no marking, use a permanent marker to make a col‐
our marking on the drive plate and one the gouter
