  • In this short ad-hoc video, Corey from IDParts shares a few tips and tricks to getting the DSG transmission out.
    Please be aware that this transmission is VERY heavy. ** DO NOT TRY AND GET UNDERNEATH THE TRANSMISSION TO GET IT OUT OF THE CAR. IF IT FALL IT WILL SERIOUSLY INJURE YOU **
    Regarding getting the transmission back in, two words: cherry picker. There is a eyelet hole on the top of the transmission that you can push a hook through.

    Dual-mass flywheel - no torque converter bolts to remove, also there is a bolt hidden in the opening for the starter if anyone was wandering

    I have never done a DSG box before but I’m doing one tomorrow & needed to get an idea of the task ahead. And this is perfect for me only 3 minutes and as much as I need to know 👍thanks

    If you have if you have a transmission with a hoisting hole in front of the trans cooler, using a engine hoist will help tremendously. Also notching out the aluminum shield to make room for the axel will save you some aggravation

    Thanks for sharing, good tip w/ the spare tire jack, using that fer sure. Its easy to take out the radiator fans; just 4 little torx screws, 1 electrical plug. - thanks again, take care

    I bought a brand new LUK flywheel recently and it had the same free play both rotational and sideways as your old one!

    • @ryantornai945
      @ryantornai945 5 років тому +3

      Yes its normal for new ones to have a little play side to side and rotational.

    I would question your assessment of that flywheel. I've had brand new ones move that much too. What brand is your new one? As to the lateral movement, the support bearing is inside the transmission so I would assume it's to allow for any minor misalignment. (Mark@Rusty'sImport)

    • @idparts
      @idparts  2 роки тому

      Can't speak for your experience but its also hard to assesss movement over video. This one was clearly faulty and very noisey. We use LUK brand DMFs and the new ones have much much less movement than this one we took out.

    Hello, I have a 2010 VW CC and I am worried about the transmission, when I am driving all the gears are working ok, excepting the reverse, sometimes when I set on R y press the gas pedal and never goes in reverse, I have to move the handle from P ro S many times and after that it does work, what do you think according to your experience, do I have to replace the entire transmission or just the flywheel that you show in the video, I would appreciate a lot for your answer and your advice

    • @dopiaza2006
      @dopiaza2006 5 років тому +1

      You need to get the mechatronic unit looked at. No need to remove the transmission to get it out.

    • @samuelpaquin7160
      @samuelpaquin7160 Рік тому

      Yeah it’s probably the solenoid that changes gears its a pretty expensive job at the garage but if you know how to you can do it at home since there is no special tools needed

    How badly was the old flywheel rattling around? How many miles did it do?

    • @idparts
      @idparts  8 років тому +1

      +compu85 Just under 160,000 miles. Rattling horribly on shut down. I was also getting some drivetrain vibration under load which has also disappeared since the swap.

    Is the engine just hanging by the left-side mount once the transmission mount next to the cooler is removed? Isn't that hard on the mount?

    • @PetesWorkshop
      @PetesWorkshop 9 місяців тому

      I'm pretty sure he would have had another stand under the engine pan. I agree that the engine should not hang only on the right side engine mount.

    Do you remove both axels to get dsg off? I have r36 passat

    • @psiturbo
      @psiturbo Рік тому

      look at the video when he says about the shield, he removed the passenger axle side to the gearbox, NOT from the spindle, six triple square bolts (better have an impact gun, is a pain to remove them).
      Driver's side he removed the comple axle from the spindle.
      If you are asking such question, do not do this DIY.

    Did you replace the clutches?

    • @samuelpaquin7160
      @samuelpaquin7160 Рік тому

      They are inside the transmission and they dont usualy go bad if you do regular oil changes because they ate wet clutches

  • @ryantornai945
    @ryantornai945 5 років тому +6

    Even the new one have lateral movement, that doesnt mean its bad.

      Yes I believe that if he held that tightly and used 2 hands the inner could rotate slightly.

      If you drain the oil you can remove the driveshaft flange from the differential. Makes a big difference.

    • @joshuam7552
      @joshuam7552 5 років тому

      @@dopiaza2006 You don't need to drain the DGS oil to do that. You will be fine removing the 6mm alan bolt from inside the flange and then removing the flange. It will be lubricated with DSG fluid but it won't be pouring out by any means. Actually, the removal process from the manual directs you to remove the driver-side axle flange.

    why do some people put those junky dmf's back instead of a single mass flywheel?

    • @jrmason4049
      @jrmason4049 Рік тому

      Unlike a standard transmission where you can use a standard flywheel there is no other option on the DSG transmissions.
