Assembling body "„I"": Audi A6 C5 / A8 D2

🧭 Before you start

Fits: Audi A6 C5 (4B), Audi A8 D2 (4D)

Don't miss

• Clutch "„E“" can be identified by the dished spring and the split retaining ring.
• If dimension (a) is below specification, check assembly of body "„I“".

📋 Procedure

1. Fit axial needle bearing (2) to clutch "„E“" loosely with vaseline (in cylinder "„D/E“"(item 1)). Use vaseline only. Other types of lubricant will cause the gearbox hydraulics to malfunction. [Note: Clutch "„E“" can be identified by the dished spring and the split retaining ring.]
2. Turn cylinder "„D/E“"(item 2) upside down.
3. Position cylinder "„D/E“" onto planetary drive (1) (support cylinder by lifting and rotating it gently).
4. Lift and drop cylinder "„D/E“" a few millimetres to check whether the plates mesh.
5. Apply a thin coat of vaseline to flat side of axial needle bearing (2). Use vaseline only. Other types of lubricant will cause the gearbox hydraulics to malfunction.

6. Fit axial needle bearing to reverse side of clutch "„C“"(item 1).
7. Insert clutch "„C“" with sun shaft (2) into cylinder "„D/E“"(item 1).
8. Allow cylinder "„C“" to engage in all plates of clutch "„D“" (lift and rotate cylinder slightly as required).
9. Lift and drop cylinder "„D/E“" a few millimetres to check whether the plates mesh.
10. Check dimension of "„body I“". [Note: If dimension (a) is below specification, check assembly of body "„I“".]
11. Check that parallel keys (arrow) are centred on both sides of cylinder (D … E).
12. Screw in threaded spindle (1) for lifting tool T10272 for body "„I“" into tapped hole of body "„I“" as far as stop.
13. Secure individual components of "„body I“" from from being pulled apart (screw in sleeve (2) on threaded spindle all the way until finger-tight).
