Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Pre-Installation Prep: Replace clutch kit, pilot & throw-out bearings, and rear main seal to prevent future leaks.

• Alignment: Use an input-shaft alignment tool for perfect concentric fit.

• Break-In: Drive gently for the first 300 km to allow synchronizers to bed in fully.

• Service Interval: Change gearbox oil every 60 000 km with VW-specified 75W-85 GL-4 fluid.
