What answers are correct?

Sometimes only one answer will be correct. However, more than one – or all of the answers may also be correct. Please fill in the gaps.

1. In the 02T manual gearbox, the gear and final drive ratios can be varied to a considerable degree. The advantages are:

1. Maximum ratio spread.
2. An optimum compromise between sporty and economical driving modes is possible for all vehicle applications.
3. It is possible to use the gearbox for different engine capacities and platforms throughout the Group.

2. The gearbox housing is manufactured from magnesium. The advantages are:

1. Drastic weight savings.
2. Enhanced vibration and noise comfort.
3. Considerable savings on cost of materials.

3. A characteristic of the gearbox is its modular design. Name at least three gearbox modules/assemblies

4. The gearbox is equipped with the standard cable-operated transmission. The advantages are:

1. Low friction losses during operation.
2. The lateral forces and bending moments acting on the elements of the inner and outer selector mechanisms are kept to a minimum.
3. Mechanical vibration is isolated from the drive line region.

5. The angle piece on the selector mechanism cover is used to

1. Fix the selector shaft in a pre-defined position.
2. Fix the gearshift lever in a pre-defined position.
3. Simplify adjustment of the standard cable-operated transmission.

6. The range of special tools includes locating pin T10027. It is used to

1. Fix the gear lever in the gate for 1st/2nd gear.
2. Lock the selector shaft.
3. Adjust the gear lever in relation to the selector housing.

7. Road speed is reduced via

1. Mechanical intermediate steps – speedometer drive wheel and speedometer drive shaft.
2. Sensors on the gearbox and wireless transmission to the control unit in the dash panel insert.
3. Direct engine speed reduction at the differential housing by a Hall sender and subsequent transfer to the control unit in the dash panel insert.

8. The bearing support is a new feature of the transmission shaft bearing.

1. As a result, the bearings can be exchanged quickly, easily and individually.
2. After repair work, the bearing support must be replaced completely.
3. The complete shaft and gear packet of the input and output shafts and the bearing support is pre-assembled as a module.
