Adjusting 2nd and 4th gear brake -B2- — AUDI
Adjusting 2nd and 4th gear brake -B2- on Audi: 16 steps, 1 torque figure. What to remove, what to tighten and to how many Nm, what to check after.
Workshop procedure for AUDI — the exact step sequence and torque figures, straight from real workshop data.
🧭 Before you start
Fits: platform code 70A
- Special tools named: 3459
Don't miss
- Ascertain thickness of necessary outer disc(s) according to table and determine part no. from parts catalogue. In this example two outer discs must be installed (each 2.25 mm thick).
🔩 Torque settings
Values can differ between engine variants — check the code stamped on your block.
| Torque | Fastener / step |
|---|---|
| 5 Nm (3.7 lb-ft) | Bolt 3459 to flange for ATF pump |
ℹ️ Always cross-check the exact figure against your vehicle's factory manual before final tightening — a wrong torque can damage the engine. These values are extracted from workshop data and may not cover every variant or revision.
📋 Procedure
- Install components for adjusting without corrugated washer , without last outer disc and without spring cap .
- Place 3459 onto last inner disc and turn so that the three clips align with the 3 holes for the ATF pump.
- Bolt 3459 to flange for ATF pump with 5 Nm. — 5 Nm (3.7 lb-ft)
- Measure from pump flange/gearbox housing (arrow) to3459 with depth gauge.
- Note calculated value a.
- Remove 3459.
- Push piston into ATF pump onto stop.
- Place new paper gasket onto ATF pump.
- Place straight edge "“B”" onto stator support (arrows) and measure with depth gauge (A) to gasket of pump flange.
- Note calculated value b.
- Determine thickness of outer disc(s) according to table:
- Ascertain thickness of necessary outer disc(s) according to table and determine part no. from parts catalogue. In this example two outer discs must be installed (each 2.25 mm thick).
- Place three spring caps onto compression springs.
- Install correct last outer disc(s).
- Insert corrugated washer.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
