sition) to the gearbox. The selector lever positions or shifting are
transmitted via a separate control unit in the shift mechanism via
the CAN databus to the mechatronics. The shifting is then per‐
formed without control cable. Only in the selector lever position P
is the parking position engaged mechanically via the selector lev‐
er control cable.
Gear-change points change on upward and downward gradients
On upward or downward gradients, gear-changes are selected
automatically by additional gear-change mapping, according to
accelerator position and driving speed.
♦ On steep gradients, gear-change mapping is adapted to en‐
gine power output.
♦ On steep gradients, gear-change mapping is adapted to the
braking effect of the engine.
♦ By directly selecting a gear via the Tiptronic, it is also possible
to use engine braking with a specific gear, e.g. for a slope
during trailer operation.
Tiptronic
Another one exists to the right of the normal selector lever gate.
In this selector lever gate, the selector lever can be tipped towards
the Plus sign (+) to change up the gears manually and vice versa
towards the Minus sign (-) to change down the gears manually.

Contact corrosion

The gearbox housing and the clutch housing are made out of
magnesium alloy.
Bolts and other components that come into direct contact with the
gearbox have a surface with varying finishes in relation to it.
The use of substitute components causes contact corrosion
(screws. nuts. washers ...). The gearbox housing and the clutch
housing are damaged.
Generally install parts which are indicated in the ⇒ Electronic
Catalogue of Original Parts .

Gaskets and seals

♦ After removing all seals, inspect the contact faces on housings
and shafts for burrs and damage and remove all which are
found.
♦ Before a radial shaft seal is installed, coat the sealing lips and
the space in-between halfways with sealing grease - G 052
128 A1- .
♦ The open side of the sealing rings is assembled towards the
oil.
♦ Always replace O-rings, gasket rings and gaskets ⇒ Elec‐
tronic Catalogue of Original Parts .
♦ Before inserting the O-rings only coat with DSG oil to prevent
the rings being damaged during installation. A different lubri‐
cant can cause functional faults.
♦ After installing, check gear oil level

Nuts and bolts

♦ Slacken and tighten screws or fixing nuts of covers and hous‐
ings diagonally across in stages.
