Hallo Kann man 2 ringe auch einbauen Ich habe 1 verbaut, es ist alles soweit ok, dennoch merke ich bei schalten immer noch ein bisschen spiel Danke Grüsse Sladdy

Dean Johnson what was the symptoms on your touran.as I have 5th gear whining .

@@sumonmiah3534 whining + stuck gear in 1st + R ....

+Jeff Straker is it possible to stack two shims?

+Carlos Ordonez Well Carlos, I'm sure it's possible in some transmissions to stack 2 in there; there would have to be some insane wear on that case half to make that kind of gap. i would assume that if one found that kind of gap, enough to fit 2, there would likely be a single shim's worth of wear on the outer case/ "accessible side", and another shim's worth of wear on inner case where there is no access unless you drop the tranny and open it up. If you think about it, That bearing we are trying to "shim-up" into place has a similar shoulder on the inside of the case that sits against the wall opposite where the snap ring and shim are. although I never mentioned it at all in my post or this video, there is a little bit of wear coming from that shoulder spinning freely against that inner surface. Mind you, the shoulder is at least 4/5 times wider than the snap ring alone, so it has far less tendency to cut a groove like that in the inside case half. Which brings me to this point, and hopefully gives the critics and cynics a second sober look at what this repair is: This "quick fix" is a quick fix; it is extremely effective at reviving your non working and dangerous transmission in under 10 minutes and for less than $20. Obviously, The guy who pulls his transmission out, strips it down, and replaces: the worn case half, bearing, and applies some bearing race retention product is going about it the right wa Not the most time and cost efficient way mind you, especially if you think about the max life one expects to gain overall from this repair. I can realistically see a modded transmission lasting over 150,000 miles before this specific problem resurfaces in the same way as the first time; by then the average driver will have gone through a second clutch kit and 2 more timing belts, as well as another 30-40 more oil changes. 10 minutes and 20$ is not such a bad way to put off a pesky problem whether its the "correct" way or not.

I have a gti mkv stage 1 unitronic it has about 200k miles and the clutch,turbo is origional. Only think i changed was timing belt kit. And i changed tranny fluid only once at 100k all i moded was motor mounts intake suspension unitronic tune. Amazing car. I just have to get this cap that covers the bearing cuz mine is corroded bubbly and leaking.

In-depth reply, I like it. There isn't anything but good that can come out of doing this shim mod I'm guessing? I've done it, no grinding, no gear issues seem to be happening. The play has gone down/eliminated to, let me be approximate, 0.0010-0.0020. So very hairline movement at the least.

@@jeffstraker2105 I had a problem with clutch in my vw passat b6 had its clutch dragging and the first gear and reverse gear would not come out until the engine was stopped. I add this shim and now problem is fixed. But i have a question just sometimes not always the cluth does not disengage perfectly. The clutch ,flywheel and the clutch pump is new

Did it fix it? Having the same issues

@@albertoarriaga2297 yes it did! I wrote about it on VWVortex 8 years ago.

Thank Jeff, I have order the part from my local dealer, it should be here by Wednesday. I will also replace th slave cylinder since i have dropped the box. Will post my results on here!

When you grab hold of the mainshaft and push/pull in and out of the case do you feel excessive freeplay? Upto 1/8 indicates some decent wear but beyond this 1/4 or so means that you absolutely need that washer and cap done. Do it on the bench while you have it all acessible.

Kyle Wolden: It can't hurt to try fixing the problem most of us have found. I can't say for sure what your exact issue is without diagnosing it in person, too many variables. Worst case scenario you order 1 shim and 2 covers, use shim and cover #1 on your current tranny. If it doesn't fix it, take it out and put it in your potential replacement tranny with cover #2. Parts are cheap enough to try before buying a transmission and swapping it out. Good luck, post results

i have the same gearbox ... FMH ... 02M ...yes fits perfectly

Brian Charnock it's on ecs tuning

I have same symptoms but I have the 02m trans, some dude told me it was this main shaft shim so idk you can try. You could try joining a Facebook group for ur car and asking a question, good, useful communities.

Hi, give us some feedback if you did fixed the 1st and 2nd whine. Thanks

Sumon Miah glad to hear it!

Hi I’ve got Leon 6 speed my 5th gear has hummming sound was this same yours 6 speed box but this video fixed it ?

Si7uk S Do you mean have done this or not ?

Sumon Miah no I want no sort my problem

Sumon Miah my 5th gear just makes horrible sound so don’t use it just want no if do this will it sort it?

That's odd. There is a shoulder on the inside edge of the bearing that buts up against the inside of the case, perhaps it has worn into the case over time. If that's happened it would appear as though it needs a second shim, which might draw the bearing and the main shaft to far out of spec. I'm looking into an alternative repair for that situation, there are a lot of aging gearboxes out there with this issue and some have more advanced issues than others. I like how this fix has worked and that it's cheap and quick. I'll figure something else out for those that need more.

Lazaro Carreiro this shim fix has taken care of many gearbox issues, from noisy decelleration to locked in gears and lockout of gears.very cheap and simple to do. check out the vw vortex link posted above.

Jeff Thank you. I purchased the shim and cover from Volkswagen and it rectified the issue. Great job!!

Your solution is in this vidéo same as me

Kyle Williams if you previously installed a light weight/aluminum flywheel and clutch recently, that is your cause of the gear rattle you're hearing. the shim fix will not cure that, it is a symptom of a light flywheel. check the link above for details.

***** no I just fitted a oem sachs dmf and clutch kit

Kyle Williams i have 02q I think this may be the problem too ? Wonder how much it will cost ?

Transmission has to come out, split the case, pull bearing and reassemble. Might as well reinforce the shift forks while you're at it and perform a more permanent fixture for that mainshaft bearing.

Jeff Straker thanks bud think I'm just going to put a recon box into it thanks for the reply though

Absolutely. See below, check my VW vortex post in this for detailed description of the problem and dozens of testimonials.

Do you have to drop the gearbox or just a wheel off job?

@@bsukoo1 just wheel off job. Makes it easier to remove the plastic cowling in the wheel arch too.

Hi Kevin, some years ago, I had to make this for a Seat Leon, 5th was whinning. Now I have my parents Alhambra, having the same sympthoms as yours, did you resolved the stucked reverse and 1st gear? Thanks.

@@jeffstraker2105 hi I was just wondering if the part number given in comments will fit my mk4 golf 6speed 52plate ?? Thanks in advance

No thats a later gearbox and should have this problem solved from factory.

yup, sounds like the start of it.

did you sort out your problem?

Sumon Miah I got the shim and cover will be putting it in , in the next couple days . I'll post what the outcome is !

Josh Rodrigues I bought a 2006 touran 2.0tdi rare spec at a really good price not long ago and discovered it had 5th gear whine.was getting silly qoutes by professionals.then saw this video and thought ill try it at a friends garage.he didn't know what I was saying till he took that cover off.then he couldn't spot the circular clip which made me shit my pants so I had to see for my self and saw the slit in the clip and installed everything then he knew what I was on about and learned something new.hes a good mechanic dont get me wrong.i have no sounds at all.you dont need to drain the transmission oil as the cap is higher then the oil refill cap.also when removing the cap it will have a little oil on.have a look at the condition of the oil.

ryanthethumb did you have to drop the gearbox or just a wheel off job?

@@bsukoo1 just wheel off its easy to do just be carefull when u take the cap off and when you put new one on

@@bsukoo1 did you have the problem fixed.i did mines 7k miles ago still fine no problem.

Konstantin Sytch my o2q is kaputt too leaking oil the whole lot wonder how much it will cost ?

On early ones yes, the shim was added around 2007-2008

Yes both parts are available from the dealership, also I understand ECS Tuning has a kit.

What kinda of MK1 cupra? 1.9 TDI? I have the same problem but in the 5th gear.

@@abcd-is8lv 1.8t petrol . Miss that car so much 😭😞

you might see a little oil come out, but if your gear oil is at the proper level you shouldn't be opening the tranny up enough to get down to fluid level.

***** i went to install today . There was play but not massive amounts. After puttin shim in and cerclip on it was tight , the circlip didnt want to snap in . I finally got it to find its home with a bit of force but the circlip wouldnt spin freely .im thinkin that probably not a good idea to leave it like this . So tryed gettin the circlip back out.because it was tight i ended up bending the circlip . Now need a new one . Any idea on the part number or proper name for it . Thanks again

+Petrez w i have found the part number for the c-clip if anyone ends up bending it 0A5 311 183 im not 100% wether its ok fitting the shim if the c-clip is tight (not snapping back in + no movement on shaft when fitted ), any advice would be appreciated

djshumon did it fix your 5th gear problem? Here’s

+Si7uk S sorry late reply.yes it did.

Lmao very late haha. I have whining on 2/3/4 and slightly on 5/6. Will this help on my TT 2003? 02M box

+Asad Parker most likely no harm in trying.

I done it and it works EXCELLENTLY!
