Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque wrench (VAG 1331)

• Lithium grease (G 052 150 A2)

• Copper grease (Z 381 351 TE)

Removing





- On vehicles installed with auxiliary heater, remove bolts - arrows - securing exhaust pipe of auxiliary/heater to sound insulation.

- Loosen bolts/quick release fasteners - 1 - and - 2 - and remove front sound insulation - A -.





- If installed, loosen quick release fasteners - 3 - and remove rear sound insulation - B -.

- Remove drive axle (left side) - 1 - from flange shaft and move to front, making sure you do not damage surface protection.

- Remove nut - arrow - and detach selector shaft lever from selector shaft.





- Remove bolt - arrow - and remove slave cylinder from rear.





• Do not depress clutch pedal after removing slave cylinder. The slave cylinder would then be destroyed once pedal force exceeds approximately 300 N.

- To remove pipe/hose assembly, use a screwdriver to pry off clip - A - as far as stop. Only then can the pipe/hose assembly be pulled out.





Installing

Installation is perform in reverse sequence. Note the following:

• Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the transmission. If necessary, clean the transmission housing.

• If the slave cylinder is inserted at an angle, there is a danger that the operating rod will be guided past the clutch release lever.

• When installing, press in slave cylinder so that securing bolt can be installed easily.

• Always replace securing bolt.

- To connect line to clutch slave cylinder, press in retaining clip - A - as far as it will go.





- Push line - B - into slave cylinder until it engages audibly.

- Before inserting slave cylinder in transmission housing, lubricate area - a - of sleeve with lithium grease ( G 052 150 A2).





- Lightly lubricate surface where operating rod and clutch release lever make contact with copper grease (Z 381 351 TE ).

- Attach bracket for pipe/hose assembly - 3 - to slave cylinder - 4 -.





- Guide slave cylinder - 1 - into opening in transmission housing keeping it as straight as possible (without tilting operating rod - arrow A -) and insert in recess - arrow B - on clutch release lever - 3 -.





- Use new bolt - 2 - to secure to transmission.

• If the slave cylinder - 1 - is inserted at an angle, there is a danger that the operating rod - arrow A - will be guided past the clutch release lever - 3 -.

- Tighten bolt - arrow - to specification.





- If pipe/hose assembly was disconnected at slave cylinder, the clutch system has to be bled after installing slave cylinder. Refer to => [ Clutch Hydraulic System Bleeding ] 01X, 6-Speed Front-Wheel Drive M/T.

CAUTION!
After installing the slave cylinder carefully press the clutch pedal. If you feel an unusually strong resistance when depressing the clutch pedal, you must not press it down further. The push rod of the slave cylinder is likely to have been guided past the clutch release lever. The slave cylinder would then be destroyed once pedal force exceeds approximately 300 N.

- Install selector shaft lever and tighten nut - arrow -.





- Bolt drive axle (left side) to flange shaft.
