1.1 Safety precautions when working on ve‐

hicles with a start/stop system
Risk of injury as a result of automatic engine start in vehicles with
start/stop system.
In vehicles with an activated start-stop system (indicated by a
message in the dash panel insert), the engine can start automat‐
ically if necessary.
– It is necessary to ensure that the start-stop system is deacti‐
vated when carrying out work on the vehicle (switch ignition
off and if required switch ignition on again).
1.2 Safety precautions during road tests in

which testing and measuring equipment
is used
There is an increased risk of injury or accident from unintended
motion and insufficient securing of testers and measuring instru‐
ments.
There is a risk of injury from the release of the passenger airbag
in the event of an accident.
Operation of test and measuring instruments by the driver while
driving may result in deviating from the direction of travel.
– Fasten test and measurement equipment with a strap on the
rear seat and secure their operation by another person sitting
on the rear seat.

3.1 Rules of cleanliness

♦ Thoroughly clean the connection points and their surroundings
before releasing.
♦ Only install clean parts: Only unpack replacement parts im‐
mediately prior to fitting.
♦ Always replace the paper gaskets. Completely remove old
gaskets and thoroughly clean sealing surfaces.
♦ 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!
♦ Carefully cover or seal opened or removed components if the
repair is not carried out immediately.

ŠKODA AUTOand gearbox.
♦ When assembling mounts as well as waxed components, the
contact surfaces must be cleaned. Contact surfaces must be
free of wax and grease.
♦ Bolts and other attachments should have a classification in the
⇒ Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts .
♦ When replacing the gearbox check the gear oil level
⇒ “5 Gear oil”, page 149 .
♦ Filling capacity ⇒ “4.1 Contents”, page 7 .
Sealant
♦ Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before applying seal‐
ant.
♦ Apply sealant AMV 188 200 03 evenly and not too thick.
3. Repair notes 3
Locking elements
♦ Do not over-tension the circlips, replace if necessary ⇒ Elec‐
tronic Catalogue of Original Parts .
♦ Circlips must be positioned in the base of the groove.
♦ Replace roll pins. Fitting position: slot longitudinally to power
flow.
Bearings
♦ New taper roller bearings are fitted as supplied and do not
require any additional lubrication.
♦ Insert moist all bearings (except taper roller bearings) into the
gearbox with gear oil.
♦ Before installing, heat the inner rings of the bearing on a heat‐
ing plate or with the induction heater unit - VAS 6414- to
approx. 100°C, when installing press in axial and play-free up
to the stop.
♦ Do not mix up the outer and inner races of taper roller bearings
of the same size.
♦ Always jointly replace tapered-roller bearings on the same
shaft and use products of the same manufacturer.
♦ Position needle bearing with the lettered side (thicker end) to‐
wards the drift pin.
Shims
♦ Gauge shims at several points with a micrometer. Different

tolerances allow to measure the required thickness for each
washer very precisely.
♦ Inspect for burrs and damage.
♦ Install only adjusting washers which are in perfect condition.

Synchronizer rings
♦ These are not interchangeable. If re-using, allocate synchron‐
izer rings to the same sliding gear.
♦ Inspect for wear, replace if necessary ⇒ Electronic Catalogue
of Original Parts .
♦ Check grooves -arrow 1- on synchronizer ring -A-, or check
the inside of the ring for flattened parts (grooves worn).
♦ When installing the intermediate ring -B-, check outer contact
surface -arrow 2- and inner contact surface -arrow 3- for
grooves, blue coloring (caused by overheating) and other
damages.
♦ Insert with some gearbox fluid.
Pinions
♦ Clean and heat on a heating plate or with the induction heater
unit - VAS 6414- to approx. 100°C before pressing on.
♦ Check fitting position.
Sliding gears
♦ Check 1st to 6th gear sliding gears after assembly for low axial
play or for smooth operation.
Clutch control
♦ When removing gearbox, remove slave cylinder without open‐
ing the line system.
♦ If the slave cylinder with connected hydraulic line is removed,
do not depress the clutch pedal. Otherwise the piston is press‐
ed out of the slave cylinder.
♦ Ensure that the pressure plate does not cant: loosen and tight‐
en bolts diagonally and in several gradual stages.
♦ If the clutch pedal does not return to its initial position after the
coupling procedure - clutch pedal in home position - the clutch
control must be bled (furtherProtected

♦ In order to reduce unpleasant odours if the clutch is burnt,
thoroughly clean the clutch housing as well as the flywheel and
the engine on the side of the gearbox.
3.3 Contact corrosion

The gearbox housing and the clutch housing are made out of
magnesium alloy.
Bolts and other components that come into direct contact with the
gearbox have a surface with varying finishes in relation to it.
The use of substitute components causes contact corrosion
(screws. nuts. washers ...). The gearbox housing and clutch hous‐
ing are damaged.
Generally install parts which are indicated in the ⇒ Electronic
Catalogue of Original Parts .
3. Repair notes 5
3.4 Gaskets and seals

♦ Replace O-rings, sealing rings and gaskets after disassembly
⇒ Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts .
♦ After removing all seals, inspect the contact faces on housings
and shafts for burrs and damage and remove all which are
found.
♦ Before the radial shaft sealing ring is installed, half-coat the
sealing lips and the space between them with sealing grease
- G 052 128 A1- .
♦ Install sealing rings with the open side towards the oil.
♦ Before inserting the O-rings coat with gear oil to prevent the
rings being damaged during installation.
♦ Change oil in the gearbox after installation
⇒ “5 Gear oil”, page 149 .
3.5 Screws, nuts

♦ Slacken and tighten screws or fixing nuts of covers and hous‐
ings diagonally across in stages.
♦ Tightening torques apply for non-oiled nuts and bolts.
♦ Clean the thread of the screws that are inserted with a locking
agent with a wire brush. Insert bolts with locking agent - AMV
185 101 A1- .
♦ Clean all threaded holes into which bolts are screwed in with
locking agent, using a thread tap to remove old locking agent
residues. Otherwise there is a risk that the bolts will shear at
the next disassembling.
♦ Replace self-locking screws and nuts after removal.

Example:
5th gear Final drive
Drive wheel ZG1 = 46 ZA1 = 24
Output gear ZG2 = 33 ZA2 = 70
i = ZG2 : ZG1 1)
iG = Gear ratio = ZG2: ZG1 = 33 : 46 = 0,717
iA = axis ratio = ZA2 : ZA1 = 70 : 24 = 2,917
itotal = total ratio = iG x iA = 0.717 x 2.917 = 2.091

1.12 Check hydraulic clutch control

• If the master cylinder and/or slave cylinder must be replaced
due to the predetermined fault, first of all check the hydraulic
clutch control.
• If the slave cylinder with the connected tube-hose line is re‐
moved from the gearbox, do no longer depress the clutch
pedal. Otherwise, the piston can be pressed out of the slave
cylinder and thus be destroyed.

The clutch hydraulic is connected to one of the chambers

-arrow 2- of the brake fluid reservoir by the return hose
-arrow 1-.
If there is little or no brake fluid in this chamber, there is a leak in
the system.
Symptoms of a leak are, amongst others, traces of brake fluid on
or below the gearbox, as well as on the noise insulation under the
gearbox.
In case of leakage, the corresponding component must be re‐
placed.
• Check the correct routing of the tube-hose line between the
master and slave cylinder.
• The line must not be kinked or trapped.
• The brake pedal return must not be obstructed by moved cov‐
ers (floor coverings).
Inspect the complete hydraulic system for leaks.
– Carry out a visual inspection of the following components of
the hydraulic clutch control for leaks:
♦ Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir.
♦ Return hose between brake fluid reservoir and master cylin‐
der.
♦ Master cylinder.
♦ Tube-hose line between master cylinder and slave cylinder.
♦ Connection points (plug and screw connections) also in a non-
visible area.
♦ Slave cylinder.
– Remove the slave cylinder (do not open the line system) and
check if no brake fluid drips out of the bellows, to do so remove
the bellows from the rod -arrow-.
– Depress the clutch pedal carefully, at the same time hold the
pedal in five different positions for approx. 20 seconds over
the entire distance the pedal has to travel.
• When depressing the pedal in different positions, make sure
that the pedal does not drop by itself.
• While doing so, check if fluid is leaking from the components
of the hydraulic clutch control with the help of a second person

Risk of damage to the pressure plate
– In order to avoid a deformation of the pressure plate when
removing it (this leads to jerking during start-up), the bolts
on the pressure plate must be loosened in small stages
crosswise.
– Insert counterholder - MP1-223 - to slacken and tighten the

bolts.
– Unscrew bolts of the pressure plate in small steps crosswise.
– Remove pressure plate and clutch plate.

• Replace the clutch discs and pressure plates if the riveting is
damaged or loose.
• Assign the clutch disc and pressure plate via the ⇒ Electronic
catalogue of original parts and in accordance with the engine
identification characters.
• Clean the drive shaft serration and hub serration on used
clutch discs.
• Remove corrosion and only apply a very thin layer of grease
for serration spline - G 000 100- on the drive shaft serration.
• Subsequently move the clutch disc up and down on the drive
shaft until the hub fits smoothly on the shaft.
• Remove all excess grease.
• The pressure plates are protected against corrosion and are
greased. Only clean the thrust surface as otherwise the life of
the clutch may be considerably reduced.

Installation location of the clutch disc:

• Legend “side of gearbox” points to the gearbox.
Check the extremities of the membrane spring

• Wear is allowed up to half the membrane spring thickness

Check tension springs and riveted joints

• Check the feather joints between pressure plate and cover for
cracks as well as the riveted joints for firm seating.
• Pressure plate with damaged feather joints or with loose rive‐
ted joints -arrows- must be replaced.
• Replace a pressure plate with damaged springs/free riveted
joints.
