Finally : I found a 01m auto transmission information on the output shaft/flange bearing and seal repair, I have noise in the front GROWLING SOUND probably just a wheel bearing but there is NO play in the bearings or the axles { my paranoia says it's a inner diff bearing } your video shows you can snug/adjust the bearing cup/race And now I know how to take that apart and replace the diff bearings if need be , I have a 03 Jetta Wagon 01m auto with a 1.9 tdi with 631 k and counting Thanks 🙂

Great Video Tom! Definitely best one out there on the 01M.

Buen trabajo tom felicidades y muchas gracias por ensenar lo que sabes

Great video Tom. 03 tdi 01m. At 45-55mph at times come off the gas trans neutrals out as in drops to idle speed on coastdown, if I press gas, engine revs up to "connect' again and all good. If I come to a stop or slow down (trans may drop to 3rd gear issue may not happen again for a while) and go up to speed all is fine again until it randomly does it again. One other issue after overnight parking trans is slow to engage D or R but does if I wait 5 secs to engage. Car is in FL , I run a 25k external trans cooler and replace trans oil every 30k.

Thanks to b so good man I learn alot w you👍

Thank you so much for this video. I have a 93 EuroVan with a 098 transmission. I sold the van a while back and bought back after he started experiencing forward gear slipping. Reverse works fine, but is in limp mode. Was able to drive this way, but only in "1", no other gear selections worked. Once going about 35 or so, "D" would also engage, but stuck in 3rd still. Right now after the list of things I show hereafter, it is no longer working in any forward gear. The only code showing at last check was 00652 (only showed up after the 35-40 MPH test drive, no other time), so that is where you will see items I attempted to address this code. I 100% have VW trans fluid, etc. That pan has been off probably 5x during this process :-) Long story short, it definitely started as electrical issue with the connector cable to the transmission. I think the guy drove it pretty hard to get it back to his place before I picked it up and only had reverse at that time. I changed ribbon cable and rebuilt the connector cable and was able to eliminate every code. At this point, was only getting one solenoid code, but oddly enough, I could drive it as longs as I started in "1" and manually shifted. Kinda strange, because I never got it to this stage again, and this was before changing the TCM, which was definitely compromised with a burn spot. I have VAGCOM, and was able to go thru each item one by one and have solid continuity, connection, and have replaced TCM as original issue fried the original one. I have replaced all solenoids, and have removed the valve body (trying to address 00652 code) and did a ultrasonic cleaning. No change. I also have a donor van nearby (what are the chances) that I took a valve body from as well, did an ultrasonic cleaning on it as well, and I have the same issue now, except now I have no forward gears. Between the 2 attempts on the valve body, figured I would attempt using Lucas anti-slip, just to see if it helped, and no change. I am fearing the transmission is dead at this point, not sure what else to try.

Thanks for this video your amazing man

Pretty much done, thanks! When you bolt down the stator and oil pump with the 7 pan head bolts, is it held up nearly 1/2" by spring pressure from the 3 springs and the clutch pack below it until bolted into the case? ( Where you say " tighten carefully as you can break the springs"). Thanks.

Thank you! Great Video. During rebuild I had to replace the ATF pump, (01M FDC) Can I ask how you determine what shim to use for K1, K2 end play adjustment, or if there is a method for doing this without the VW tool designed for this? I assume I can make my own tool by copying theirs to measure excess space but is there supposed to be any free space or is the shim width designed to make it tight together? Thanks!

57:34 I have been putting the trans-go repair kit in these, it replaces the pressure regulator valve with a new valve that has a sealing ring on it and for all the ones I’ve taken apart that’s the biggest problem the other valves and bores seem to be ok. The o-rings on that plastic reverse feed tube are some weird ass size! I have 4 different big o-ring kits and none of them are the same exact size I have one that’s very close but just a little thinner and after a week they will flatten out because they are a little thinner and start leaking and delay in reverse. I can’t find them o-rings anywhere tried the dealer, transtar. I assume they probably come in a rebuild kit. I own a repair shop and I do transmission work here and there I haven’t rebuilt one of these yet but I am gonna try soon they don’t seem very difficult.

Are those plastic breather tubes that stick out serviceable/replaceable? I didn't see you installing them in the video and I can't find any information on them online anywhere. I may have marred up the one trying to remove the vehicle speed sensor that's next to it (on the differential) and am looking for options should I need to do anything with it.

Thanks for taking the time to find those specs. Glad to see mine is within most and very close in the other.

Hi Tom, Thanks for all the video. I am helping my friend rebuild his 01P. Are the 01P and 01M very similar? What is the trick to separating the case (transmission from the drivetrain) ?? Are there special tools needed to separate it? Do you have any video of the tear down? Thanks for any of your help.

When replacing clutches, should they be lubricated first? Or are they installed without lubrication?

1:11:30 Is there a special wrench to unscrew this differential bearing housing? Doesn't work with a regular screwdriver.

Спасибо 👍

Love the video super informative but i just learned how to not do it special tools are special tools an no expense can be spared to have to crack it open again

Hi dear. Goog video. I have question regarding 096 automatic transmission. When the car the transmission working good. But in warm time from 1 shift isn't changenging in 2 shift

Ive got a 01m gearbox with two solenoids with high resistance. One measure 145ohm, the other measures 174. I guess those solenoids likely wont work?

Спасибо за видео!

Do you do customer work or only make youtube videos? I have a 01m with 240k id like to get rebuilt...can you recommend anybody in or near Arizona?

Ive got a 2002 Volkswagen beetle gls 1.9l Alh with the 01M 4 speed automatic and i have check the trans code yet but will soon. Car have 322k miles previous owner lacked maintenance alot and keep blowing turbos due to not changing oil regularly and i bought this vehicle of the owners father as he decided to buy her a pos beather to abuse instead of a really good tdi that can be costly. Anyhow i got it when it had 284k miles and replaced the turbo but then had issues with the trans shifting late and delayed and would shift hard as well. I flushed the trans, change out filer with new and gave it the correct clean trans fluid vw recommended and it worked perfectly fine afterwards and did for several thousands of miles. I just rolled over 321k and 2 weeks ago reverse dropped out and not sure why as it worked that evening the day before with no issues. I continued to not have reverse at its full potential and it would mive but really struggled and i had to feather the fuel pedal like i was driving a manual to get it to move 5-10ft before it would no longer moved anymore in reverse. I checked trans fluid and is was very dark brown with a slight reddish color and its smelled awful. I assume clutch plate material???? Now lowest gear 1 is start to gradually go out as well but still working without being a concern. All other gears work perfectly fine. Also i have a torque converter lockup code that stays active and comes back immediately after clearing the code. This trans mission has never been rebuilt and it seen its first trans flush since it left factory at 284k miles. Im surprised this 01M trans lasted 321k miles with the poor maintenance done on the trans, what would you suggest id need to do here as im on a tight budget and plan on rebuilding it myself and have ila budget of $500. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

How many liters of oil do you get on the first fill?

Very Good.

Tom, question;. After all my attempts at rebuilding the 01M it has No forward drive gears, Reverse works fine. ATF pressure from port shows what I think is close to correct pressures, P=46psi cold, similar warm. Shifting to R flashed to 150/160 then settled at 65psi. N= 65psi D=53ps1, up to 120 at 3000rmp, #= 53psi, 2= 53psi, 2=53psi There is a slight tic of the pressure needle when shifted from 2-1 but nothing at all into Drive, 3 or 2. I have a ross-tech VCDS, I did a scan and it showed no trans codes, perhaps it just needs more running. I had no idea how much to screw in the Valve body springs on any that were adjustable so that's why I tested the line pressure. Thanks again! Pete

I rebuilt the transmission, when it goes from third gear to fourth gear, it goes up around 200-300rpm, once fourth gear is engaged it accelerates and does not skid, check the oil and there is no sign of wear or burning, what could it be?

Hi, how much torque it can handle ?

Reverse is not working in my unit all of a sudden. Was working okay two days ago. Now I really have to plan my trips haha. What is the first thing I should have a look at? Thanks

Hi Tom, great video, are you still answering people's problems ?

1:11:11 Is there a name and/or part number for that and the O-ring?

Does anyone know the part no or name of the shaft installer????

Здравствуйте напишите размеры ключа для гайки вторичного вала

Can i tell you some questions? Pls

Great video, the camera’s angle could have been better.
