Install the "T40170" transport protection from below under the gearbox housing and attach it to the shaft with flange "1".
Check the presence of centering bushings "A" for the engine and gearbox in the cylinder block; insert the bushings if necessary. Check the aluminum engine-to-gearbox mounting bolts for reuse and, if necessary, mark them. Attach the gearbox to the engine and tighten bolts "1, 6...11." Remove the "T40170" transport protection.
Fix plug "1" in the hole for the starter. The plug "1" must fit tightly "arrows". Depending on the engine, different versions of the plug are provided. If the starter installation is difficult, lightly lubricate the plug. Install the starter.
Disconnect the spindle "10-222 A/11".
Raise the gearbox and tighten the tunnel crossmember arrow bolts. Loosen the harness and remove the lift with the T40173 gearbox mount from under the gearbox.
The next stage of work is necessary to ensure uniform contact of the torque converter with the driven disk without distortion. Lightly press the torque converter "2" using the mounting. lever "1" from driven disk "3" in the "direction of the arrow".
Tighten the torque converter bolts to the driven disc as follows. Use a 16 mm ring spanner to tighten the bolts "VAG1332/14". Screw in the first "arrow" bolt all the way (2 Nm).
Insert the guide pin of the adapter "T40058" as follows: the large diameter "arrow 1" faces the engine, the small diameter "arrow 2" faces the adapter.
Turn the crankshaft using the adapter "T40058" by 180° in the direction of engine rotation "arrow".
With the crankshaft in this position, tighten the accessible bolt "arrow" to a torque of 60 Nm. Rotate the crankshaft 60° further and tighten the remaining 5 bolts to a torque of 60 Nm.
Tighten the remaining bolts "2...5". Further installation is carried out in the reverse order. taking into account the following. Bolt the steering column to the steering gear.
Install the subframe crosspiece. Installing the selector cable. Install the ATF lines. Bolt the left and right drive shafts to the transmission. Install the PTO shaft heat shield. Install the cardan shaft. Install and secure the system. exhaust gas release without mechanical stress. Installation of noise insulation. Connect the battery, check and adjust the selector cable. Check and adjust the ATF oil level.
