Information about gearboxes with differ‐

ent output shafts

Gearbox with different output shafts.
A - Stub shafts “to 11.2008”
B - Flange shafts “from 12.2008”
Vehicles with stub shafts on gearbox
To remove gearboxes with stub shafts, it is necessary to remove

stub shafts. Only shafts with straight joints can be put back onto

the output shafts safely. Therefore, these drive shafts must be

removed.
Vehicles with flange shafts on gearbox
For gearboxes with flange shafts, the drive shafts must be unbol‐

ted from the gearbox. This way, the gearbox can be removed. In

individual cases, it is necessary to remove right-hand flange shaft

from gearbox. This gives you enough clearance for removing

gearbox.

Secure both drive shafts to suspension struts using tensioning

straps -T10038- .
