2.2.1 Assembling shift housing

1
1 Using special tool 1X56 119 916, drive new 2
needle sleeve (1) into shift housing (2). Strike 3
thicker coated side of needle sleeve.
2 Drive pins (3) into shift housing.
3 Insert driver (4) and locking piece (5) into shift
housing the correct way round.
4 Insert selector shaft (6).
5 Using special tool 1X56 119 916, drive new 12
bearing bush (7) into shift cover.
6 Using special tool 1X56 119 916, drive shaft seal
4
ring (8) into shift cover. Sealing lip must face
towards cover.
7 Using special tool 1X56 119 916, drive scraper
disc (9) into shift cover. Sealing lip must point
outwards. 5
NOTE: Smear shaft seal and wiper with sealing
compound and install. Fill the gap between shaft
seal and wiper with grease.
8 Push bush (10) into shift housing (2) and slide
shift cover (11) and new gasket over selector
shaft (6) until flush. Do not damage sealing lips.
9 Bolt shift cover (11) onto shift housing.
Tightening torque = 23 Nm. 11

10 Drive one dowel (12) through driver (4) and into

selector shaft. Drive second dowel (12) into first,

2.2.2 Detent piece with compression springs

5
1 Place washer (1), compression spring (2) and 1
second washer (1) onto selector shaft (3). Drive 4 2
in pins (8) if necessary. 1
2 Place shift detent (6) with washer (7) into detent 6 7
piece (4).
14 18
3 Place detent piece (4), shift detent (6) and washer
(7) onto selector shaft against spring pressure and 8
drive in dowels (5) offset.
11
NOTE: Axial play between detent piece and pins 17
15
must be 0.1 mm. Adjust if required using washer
(7) of different thickness. Washers are available 10 13 3
in 0.1 mm thicknesses (0.1 mm, 0.2 mm etc.). 16
Grease shift detent (6) and pins (8). 12
4 Bolt on cover (9) together with new gasket.
Tightening torque = 23 Nm.
NOTE: In the new version of the cover (a), screw 24 25
in reverse gear switch (24) and new seal ring 20
(25). In the old version, the reverse gear switch is 19 21
on the centre housing (see page 2-59, items 20
and 21).
5 Insert cover (10) into shift housing together with 9
compression springs (11), detent piece (12) and
O-ring (13). Drive pin (14) into shift housing
(countersink approx. 5 mm) and fit new cover
(countersink approx. 2 mm).
22
6 Fit pin (15), spring (16) and screw plug (17) with
new sealing ring and screw into shift housing.
Tightening torque = 60 Nm. 23
7 Fit cutoff valve (18) with new O-ring and screw
onto shift housing.
Tightening torque = 23 Nm. 001922

8 Insert pin (19) into cover and screw in switch (20)

together with new sealing ring (21).
Tightening torque = 50 Nm.
9 Slide protective cap (22) onto selector shaft (3)
and position shift lever (23) on selector shaft
shaft depending on shift version.
Tightening torque for hex bolt and nut on shift
lever = 49 Nm. Protective cap must sit on selector
