Dismantling and assembling gearbox on Audi: 99 steps, 9 torque figures. 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.

99 steps 9 torque figures torque figures merged from 21 documented variants

🧭 Before you start

Fits: platform codes 2EA, 2ED, 2EH, 2EX, 2EB, 2EE, 2EK, 2FC, 2FF, 2FL, 2FZ, 2FG, 2FM

  • Opens: gearbox oil
  • Special tools named: puller
  • Renewed: bearings of output shaft

Don't miss

  • On gearbox with bearing plate, raise intermediate plate slightly.
  • Support pins T50031/1 hold intermediate plate in installation position when bolts are removed.
  • Make sure that selector forks engage in locking collars (arrows).
  • Lugs of synchro-ring must engage in recesses in synchro-hub (arrow).
  • Make sure that dowel sleeves are installed in gearbox housing.

🔩 Torque settings

Values can differ between engine variants — check the code stamped on your block.

TorqueFastener / step
100 Nm (74 lb-ft)Engage a gear, brace input shaft with counter-hold tool and tighten bolt (1
25 Nm (18 lb-ft)Engage 5th gear
25 Nm (18 lb-ft)Tighten bolt (b) (⇒ figure below)
25 Nm (18 lb-ft)Tighten bolt (c)
28 Nm (21 lb-ft)Tighten securing bolts for clutch housing diagonally
30 Nm (22 lb-ft)Tighten bolt (a)
50 Nm (37 lb-ft)Tighten bolts (3) evenly
9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft)If present, install gearbox neutral position switch F365(2
9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft)Screw selector unit onto gearbox housing (arrows

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.

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.
