01J Transmission






Input Shaft Adjusting with Air Gap Determination

Observe general repair information. Refer to => [ General Repair Information ] General Repair Information.

Rules of cleanliness for working on transmissions. Refer to => [ Clean Working Conditions ] Clean Working Conditions.

All components must be cleaned thoroughly before inserting.

Clutch Measurement

The distance - K - of the clutch from the upper contact ring shim on the shaft (Thrust plate contact surface) is determined.





The corrugated spring washer - 1 - is installed under the disc pack to perform measurements.

- Place the input shaft on the assembly tool (T10219/1).





- Insert new lower adjustment disc - 1 - of same thickness as the old one in the input shaft cylinder - A -.





- Insert the corrugated spring washer - 2 -.

The corrugated spring washer is installed at the bottom only for measurement, it is installed again at the time during assembly.

- Insert alternately and with same alignment each lining disc - 3 - (6 pieces) and outer disc - 4 - (5 pieces, 1.9 mm thickness).

Lining disc alignment:





CAUTION!
The lining discs must be installed with the same alignment, that is the places without outside teeth - arrows - must always lie one on top of the other. Only in this way is the adjustment correct; you must mark the cylinder for correct installation, if necessary.

- Last, insert new upper shim - 5 - of same thickness as old in input shaft.





For the following measurements, all tool and component surfaces must be completely clean in order to obtain exact values.

- Place 4 calipers (T40101) on upper shim.





- Lay a ruler (T40100) centered over every 2 calipers (T40101).





- Measure shim with digital depth gauge (VAS 6087 ) and note measurement - A -.





Digital depth gauge (VAS 6087) must lie flush on both rulers (T40100) when measuring.

- Measure with digital depth gauge (VAS 6087) on shaft contact ring (Thrust plate contact surface) and note measurement - B -.





- Subtract both measurements "B - A", to obtain clutch distance - K -.





Clutch distance calculation - K -: "B - A = K"

The corrugated spring washer - 1 - is installed under the disc pack to perform measurements.

- Repeat measurement on opposite side of input shaft and also determine clutch distance - K -.

- Insert 4 calipers (T40101) and 2 rulers (T40100) at 90 degrees on input shaft and repeat measurements.

- Using 4 values determined for clutch distance - K -, calculate average MK.

Average: "(Value 1 + Value 2 + Value 3 + Value 4) : 4 = M K"

Thrust Plate Measurement

- First check for damage and replace, if necessary. Refer to => [ Checking Pistons and Thrust Plate for Wear ] Testing and Inspection

- Rotate thrust play and lay on level and clean surface.

- Place 2 calipers (T40101) on cleaned thrust plate running surface.





Calipers (T40101) must lie completely on clean running surfaces and must not lie on edge

- Lay rulers (T40100) centered on calipers (T40101).





- Measure shim with digital depth gauge (VAS 6087 ) on upper running surface and note measurement - A -.

- Measure with digital depth gauge (VAS 6087) on lower running surface and note measurement - B -.





- Subtract value of both measurements "B - A" to determine distance "D" of both running surfaces to thrust plate.

Thrust plate distance calculation "D": "B - A = D"

- Repeat measurement on 2 additional places on thrust plate off set at 120 degrees.

- Using these three measurements, calculate thrust plate average M D.

Average: "(Value 1 + Value 2 + Value 3) : 3 = MD"

Determining Air Play

- Determine air gap on the basis of the following calculations:





Air gap = "MD" - "MK"

Air gap specified value: 1.4 ± 0.2 mm.

If specified value is not obtained:

A - Measured value too small:

- Insert corresponding thinner adjustment disc, lower adjustment disc must also be replaced, if necessary.

- Check air gap again after installing new adjustment disc. Refer to => [ Input Shaft Adjusting with Air Gap Determination ] 01J Transmission.

B - Measured value too large:

- Insert corresponding thicker adjustment disc, lower adjustment disc must also be replaced, if necessary.

- Check air gap again after installing new adjustment disc. Refer to => [ Input Shaft Adjusting with Air Gap Determination ] 01J Transmission.

Following adjustment discs are available:





Air gap can be adjusted using upper and lower adjustment discs.

If specified value is obtained:

- Remove all adjustment discs, lining discs, outer discs and the corrugated spring washer - 5 -, - 4 -, - 3 -, - 2 - and - 1 - from input shaft cylinder - A -.





CAUTION!
This step is necessary because the corrugated spring washer - 2 - is only installed over the lower adjustment disc - 1 - in order to adjust the input shaft. When assembling the input shaft, the corrugated spring washer is installed in the upper position.

- Assemble input shaft. Refer to => [ Assembling ] Input Shaft With 6 Lining Discs.
