VOLKSWAGEN "O1M"
VALVE BODY CHANGES FOR 1998 & UP

CHANGE: Sometime in the model year for 1998, the valve body assembly was redesigned, on vehicles
equipped with the O1M transaxle.

REASON: For better reliability and durability.

PARTS AFFECTED:
(1) UPPER VALVE BODY SPACER PLATE: The new design spacer plate has a hole reduced to
provide an orifice in the K1 apply circuit, as shown in Figure 2.
(2) 2-3 TIMING VALVE: The valve and bore plug were redesigned to move the spring to the
opposite side of the valve, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The spring was also dimensionally
changed. See Figure 6 for Spring Specs.
(3) K1 CLUTCH REGULATING VALVE: The valve was redesigned on the end opposite of the
spring to slow down the valves reaction to EV5 solenoid. The bore plug and retainer were
changed from a 1 piece plastic, to a plug and retaining pin. See Figures 4 and 5. The spring was
also redesigned to accommodate the changes to the valve. See Figure 6 for Spring Specs.
(4) VALVE BODY UPPER SIDE: The upper valve body casting changed to accommodate the
changes in the EV5 solenoid hydraulic circuit, as shown in Figure 7. A checkball was added to
the K1 clutch apply circuit, as shown in Figure 8. See Figures 11 and 12 for partial hydraulic
schematics which will show the main hydraulic differences between 95-97 and 98& up valve
bodies.
(5) VALVE BODY LOWER SIDE: The lower valve body casting changed to accommodate the 2-3
Timing valve and K1 Clutch regulating valve hydraulic circuit changes. See Figure 9. See
Figures 11 and 12 for partial hydraulic schematics which will show the main hydraulic
differences between 95-97 and 98& up valve bodies.
(6) LOWER VALVE BODY SPACER PLATE: The new design spacer plate has one hole added and
two holes eliminated to accommodate the changes in the 2-3 timing and the K1 clutch regulating
valve line-ups. See Figure 3.
(7) CHANNEL PLATE: The channel plate has two holes added to it as shown in Figure 10.

INTERCHANGEABILITY:
The 1998 and up valve body will retro fit back to 1995-97 models, as a complete assembly.

Special note: ATSG has found that when using this valve body on some earlier applications, a
flair on the 3-4 upshift may occur. This may be caused by the computer software differences.
