Basic Transmission

Basic Transmission

The basic transmission is constructed roughly the same way for the manual transmission and the manual/automatic transmission (R tronic). The transmission and final drive have a shared oil fill. The same oil is used for both transmission types.

• Only use the transmission oil available as a replacement part for the 086 transmission. Using other oils can lead to function problems or can even cause the transmission to fail, for the specification.

Clutch Bleeding

The clutch is bled as usual on the manual transmission. Refer to => [ Clutch System, Manual Transmission, Bleeding ] Clutch System, Manual Transmission, Bleeding.

With the manual/automatic (R tronic) transmission, the clutch is ventilated via the R tronic hydraulic system. Refer to => [ Clutch System, Bleeding ] Clutch System, R-Tronic, Bleeding.

Front Final Drive

The front final drive axle oil is filled separately.

• Use only the axle oil, which is available as a replacement part, for the front final drive. Using other oils can lead to function problems or can even cause the front final drive to fail, for the specification.

Oil Disposal Regulations

Drained oil must be disposed of properly.

• Improper disposal of used oil endangers the environment.

• Mixing with solvents, brake fluid and coolant is not permitted.

• Observe information on oil packaging.
