- Mark and remove the shim - 2 -.


Danger of interchanging.

Be careful not to interchange the thrust washer - 13 - => [ Thrust Washer ] Chain and Disc Set I Overview with the shim - 2 - under the circlip - 3 -.

To prevent interchanging them, secure the shim - 2 - to the circlip - 3 - with a tie wrap.

Measure the chain height:





For the chain height, the height of the chain bolt is used.

- Measure the height - a - of the chain bolt - 1 -.

The chain and the chain bolt - 1 - are illustrated in section.

In the following work procedure, there will be a difference between two chain heights.

Transmission with chain height - a - = 34 mm:

- Mount the (T40130/2) onto the disc set II.

Check to make sure the O-rings are seated correctly in the (T40130/2). Both O-rings must be present.





The O-ring in the (T40130/2) and the sealing surfaces on the disc set must be clean and coated with ATF.

- Center the (T40130/1) to the (T40130/2) and bolt to the transmission housing - lower arrows -, as illustrated.

- Insert the bolt - 1 - far enough until the (T40130/2) presses against the disc set II.

- Connect the pressure air hose - 2 - for the tire valves to the (T40130/2) and give approximately 3 bar pressure.

The disc set opens, the chain relaxes.

- To secure the upper sides, push both hooks in direction of - arrow -.

- Lock the hooks in this position with the knurled screws, at the same time, do not clamp the chain.

Transmission with chain height - a - = 38 mm:





- Mount the (T40130/2) onto the disc set II.





Check to make sure the O-rings are seated correctly in the (T40130/2). Both O-rings must be present.

The O-ring in the (T40130/2) and the sealing surfaces on the disc set must be clean and coated with ATF.

- Center the (T40130/1) with the spacers (T40130/5) and (T40130/6) on the (T40130/2) and mount it to the transmission housing - lower arrows -, as illustrated.

- Insert the bolt - 1 - far enough until the (T40130/2) presses against the disc set II.

- Connect the pressure air hose - 2 - for the tire valves to the (T40130/2) and give approximately 3 bar pressure.

The disc set opens, the chain relaxes.

- To secure the upper sides, push both hooks in direction of - arrow -.

- Lock the hooks in this position with the knurled screws, at the same time, do not clamp the chain.

Continuation for transmission with all chain heights:

- Turn the chain so that the link with the production date stamped on it - A - is visible.





- Open the chain on the 4th chain bolt next to the marked chain link.

- Place a cloth under the chain to prevent any welding points from falling into the transmission.

- Break off any lower welding points on both halves of the 4th chain bolt - arrow -.

- Remove the two piece chain bolt upward.


Do not bend the chain, this could damage it.

- Mark the installation position of the glide track - 2 -.





- Unclip the glide track on the oil pipe - 1 -, remove the chain and glide track.

- Remove the disc set I - arrow - upward.





Installing

Tightening specifications, refer to => [ Chain and Disc Set I Overview ] Chain and Disc Set I Overview.


Check bearing D and bearing E for wear, refer to => [ Bearings D, E and G, Checking for Wear ] Bearings D, E and G, Checking for Wear.

Check the chain, disc set I and II, bearing C and suction jet pump, refer to => [ Chain, Disc Set I and II, Bearing C and Suction Jet Pump, Checking for Wear ] Chain, Disc Set I and II, Bearing C and Suction Jet Pump, Checking for Wear.

If the disc set I is being replaced, then the shim and the circlip must be measured again => [ Determining the Shim and Circlip ] Disc Set I.

- Carefully install the disc set I - arrow - into the roller bearing.

The splines must engage into the splines on the input shaft.

- Clean chain, if applicable, removal metal shavings between the chain links.

- Attach the glide track - 2 - to the chain, which was marked during removal, to the oil pipe - 1 -.





- Pull the chain so that both open ends align.

- Place the chain at the open end with a cable tie - 1 -, as illustrated.





By tightening the chain, the chain links are held parallel and fixed and cannot be crooked when added together.

- Reconnect the chain - arrows -, so that the chain links are straight and parallel to each other.

Due to design, the distance of the chain links to each other is different - arrow -.





- Install both halves of the chain bolt - 1 - and - 2 - from the top, as illustrated.





The welding points - arrows - face upward.

The broken off welding points on the chain bolt face downward.

Both halves of the chain bolt are formed asymmetrical.

- Remove cable ties from the chain.

- Loosen the knurled-head bolt and push the hook opposite the direction of - arrow - toward the outside.





- Remove the pressure air hose - 2 - for the tire valve from the (T40130/2).

- Bleed the (T40130/2) via the pressure air valve.

The valve need on the pressure air valve must pushed down using a small screwdriver.

The disc set closes, the chain tensions itself.

- Install the oil guide piece II - arrow -.





- Install oil guide piece I - 1 -.





The retaining bolts - arrows - must engage into the holes in the transmission housing.

- If equipped, install the spacer - 2 -. Note the installation position, as illustrated.





- Install the thrust washer - 1 - on the disc set I- 3 - according to the marking made during removal.

If, in the disc set I a spacer - 2 - was installed, then it can be installed again if the former bearing D with inner race was not replaced. For bearing D without an inner race, a spacer cannot be installed.


Danger of interchanging.

Be sure not to interchange the thrust washer - 1 - with the shim - 12 - => [ Adjusting Shim ] Chain and Disc Set I Overview under the circlip.

- Remove the intermediate housing seal - 1 -.





- Make sure the alignment sleeves - 2 and 3 - are installed, if necessary install them.

- Install the intermediate housing.

- Install the bolts - arrow - for the intermediate housing and tighten in diagonal sequence and in stages.





Depending on the version, the bolts can have different lengths.

If the same disc set I was installed again, then the original shim and a new circlip - with the same strength and the old circlip - are installed.





- Rotate the transmission housing on the engine/transmission support, so that the disc set I contacts the intermediate housing by its own weight.

The circlip - 3 - fits into the groove on the shaft and the bearing does not get damaged when the sensor wheel I is not installed.

- Install the marked shim - 2 - onto the shaft for the disc set I - 1 -.

- Install the new circlip - 3 - into the groove on the shaft for the disc set and press it in.

Pay attention to the installed location: The bores in the circlip eyes are conical. The narrow side faces up

The circlip must contact the base of the groove.

The following illustrates the intermediate housing facing upward opposite the transmission bearing.

Always replace the sensor wheels I and II.

- Carefully tap the new sensor wheel I and thrust piece (T40131) with a rubber hammer all the way in - arrow -.





- Pull out the assembly help (3241/2) from the sleeve (3241/1).





- Carefully tap the new sensor wheel II and (3241/1) with a rubber hammer all the way in.

- Turn the transmission on the engine/transmission support so that the intermediate housing faces upward once again.

- Install the oil pipe - arrow - by hand.





Do not use any tools otherwise the sealing surfaces will be damaged.

- Install the cover - arrow - for the sensor wheel II





The tab on the back of the cover must be inserted into the small hole on the transmission.

- Install the hydraulic control unit. Refer to => [ Hydraulic Control Module ] Hydraulic Control Module.

- Install the transmission control module (J217)=> [ Transmission Control Module ] Transmission Control Module.

- Install the cover.

- Install the transmission.
